Coffee-powered car breaks world record!

[LancerFanatic]

A bunch of crazy, tea-drinking northern Brits have set a new land speed record for a gasification-powered vehicle, fueled only by coffee beans. The car, which you can see in the image above alongside its engineer Martin Bacon and with the most awesome license plate in the world, is called — you guessed it — The Coffee Car, and it was created by the Teesdale Conservation Volunteers of Durham, England.

The previous gasification-powered speed record — held by some wussy Americans called “Beaver Energy” — was a mere 47mph, fueled by wood pellets. The Coffee Car averaged no less than 66.5mph and was granted a Guinness World Record in return.

when i see things like these, then you realise how we take for granted the internal combustion engine, the electric ignition system and gasoline fuel, that has made life so much easier.
