(yes I know this is from our friends across the pond, but excellent documentation of the build and I'm sure there will be some interested / stimulated by this)

[Dreamliner 200]

Been following this one for a couple years now, what can you say, the quality is amazing, they seem to have considered and engineered every solution.

Fabrication, welding and panelwork simply "exquisite"

I for one hope to be at B'ville to see this break the record, as it surely will. When will that be? When it's done I s'pose!

Awesome

[ROSS BROWN]

Did not know what word to use .
"exquisite" is a fine choice,
An inspiring work of art ,the attention to detail reminds me of one those paintings that is so well done you actually think its a photograph.
She will be the lady of the salt.
All going well she will be travelling 9.16 miles per minute, which equals 1 mile every 6.55 seconds . knowing the the size and altitude constraints of Bonneville I would not be surprised to see her in the land of OZ.
This car is
"CLASS"

Like you Ross I have followed the build diary of this project from the beginning and certainly hope to be in a position to make the trip to see the magic mark reached.

The mentor of this project, Marlo Triet is member no. 52 of the DLRA (however his first name needs correction from "Mario" eh Greg )
