Another Land Speed car (Carbinite LSR) was involved in a high speed crash. We wish Rob a speedy recovery.
We think breaking the World land speed record is one of the hardest sporting endeavours. Building the car is tough, finding the right place to run is almost impossible and getting people and companies to believe in you and support this lengthy process is even harder! Oh well we come from a country where everything is out to get you. 😂
As Douglas Adams said ”When visiting Australia,. Always carry a stick”
Rugged place!
I sometimes wish my parents had taken up the £10 emigration offer of the 1960's. I've never been but I think Australia would have been a great place to grow up.
That's Australia
Awww
I am free to help.......24-7......I bealive.....
And if your silly enough to think that this is real , then all hope is lost
We have all of that in Florida except for the dingos.

Kitty O’Neil, was the woman that knew no fear and still holds the record for the fastest 1/4 mile run ever, 412mph in 3.22 seconds. This is her story.
WOW Rosco Mcglashan, thanks for sharing this truly inspirational story. What a remarkable determination by Kitty O'Neil not to let her hearing challenge determine her course in life but she chose to rise above it and be Victor and not a victim.
Great story 👍🏽
One VERY special lady 👍🏻
In 1976 in southeastern Oregon's Alvord Desert, O'Neil set the land-speed record for female drivers. She piloted a $350,000 hydrogen peroxide powered three-wheeled rocket car built by Bill Fredrick called the “SMI Motivator”. It reached an average speed of 512.710 mph (825.127 km/h), with a peak speed of 621 miles per hour (999 km/h). O'Neil's runs reportedly used 60% of the available thrust, and O'Neil estimated that she could have exceeded 700 miles per hour (1,100 km/h) with full power
Hydrogen Peroxide, makes heaps of thrust but is mighty dangerous stuff. As you well know Rosco.
In 1994 when we broke the Australian Land Speed Record, we had our own beer produced. Did anyone have some? 😃
I have a can proudly displayed on my memorabilia shelf so I can look at it daily. I don't know how many times I have explained what it is to others. Thanks for fixing me up with one, Rosco.
I have a full unopened carton in the shed. Kept if safe all this time
Still got 2 cans Rosco. As a non i drinker should have them forever.
Wish I had some Rosco
Yeah drank a few in recognition of the mean feat 🙂 But not my usual drop LOL 🙂 Love the AMPOL Race Suit... brings back memories, I worked in an AMPOL Part Time when you did this ROSCO 🙂 I'm as Australian as AMPOL... that jingle got stuck in your head... and I know it was very hard to find sponsors back then, just as it is now, so good on them for any support they offered. I look forward to drinking a new drop when you smash it next time Mate 🙂
No but I love the idea 😀😀
I still have 1
Drain the beer. The acids eventually eat through and you will have a mess. I learnt the hard way.
Didn't know about the beer. But it is West end lol. Would have bought some for memorabilia
We Want That,Where Can I Buy That,?.
Was it better than Fosters ? 😂😂😂
Yep drank a few still got one
No, it went too fast 🤣🤣
Yep and still have mine 😁
Does it have a drink by date?
You should hunt down some abs auction them them off 🙂
No, how do I get some?
I bet it sold quickly
How do i get one in the usa?
Was a great keepsake but pretty lousy drop 😂
i wished.send me some in ELY NEVADA whitepine county.
Only drank WA beer back then , Unfortunately I was unaware of this one at the time
well i never
Have to be thirsty to drink that crap 😂😂😂
Still got ours 👍🏻😊
Not the normal post from us, but a speed record none the less. Well done Bugatti. 👏
Bugatti just won the race to 300 mph with a Chiron
Bugatti became the first automaker to break the 300-mph barrier with a prototype Chiron variant.Wow nice one!! That’s another feather in the VW groups cap....the Bugatti Chiron is an amazing car like its predecessor the Veyron was and still is 👍
That’s a mean looking sucker eh! ONE POWERBALL !
The onboard video was amazing to watch! I'd buy it if it went to 350mph, too bad 🙁
Meanwhile we are told we need to do 40kmh, called creeps and lose our jobs going 40 kmh above the speed limit.
I saw a post about the Bugatti’s the other day about how it costs over $20,000 for an oil change as it takes 27 hours and they have to dismantle most of the car to be able to change the oil 😳
Just like my uncle's type 57 lemans built in 1935 Top speed 125 mph.
It's not bugati it's been modded so much there's nothing bugatti left. Click bait bullshit
It is not a record... modded car and didn't drive both ways
500km/h next✌️
