BBC News - Design fixed for 1,000mph car

Wonder how it handles in traffic and parking in tight bays

    This is being built in my home city, which means that it's also going to have to handle residential parking permit areas, over-zealous traffic wardens, wheel clampers, speed humps on every straight stretch of road and road works on every corner. This is assuming that it ever gets out of the almost entirely pedestrianised city centre and though the hordes of frustrated commuters who are wondering why public transport has been cut back so much after the council has gone to such massive effort to discourage the private variety. It's going to need to reach 1,000mph if it's to stand any chance of getting anywhere any time soon
