I'm a lorry driver, and I empathize with the pressure of reversing that into Harry's garage!
It was a tight fit. The trickiest bit was re-coupling the trailer without the top of the tractor unit hitting the building. It was at an angle too, so had no way of seeing where the trailer pin was too! Skills
I thought you were going to volunteer your services for the drive...🤣🤣
@@FACELOWNERjust a slightly different skill set 😂
Yeah, that`s not the place to slip the clutch (if any).
Could you be the next land speed record holder?
“The flamey bit has to go at the back”. Fabulous summary of an amazingly complex design. Good luck in getting the support
"Lets take it for a drive"...... I can just see it going through Harry's junction at 400mph😂
“We’re just leaving the town centre and entering into the derestricted area” 💨
Squirt up the hill anyone?
Absolutely.. "Enough talking you'll join me later on some nice roads where I'll be able to engage reheat" :😀😀
Really hope that they get the funding for this amazing piece of British engineering..
"I'm on the A40 and it's currently registering 200 Decibels .... "
That was my first thought too! 😂👌
Fantastic to see this back.
I was lucky enough to be part of this, and the previous two projects and as such would like to put a shout out to Richard Noble, Ron Ayers and Daniel Jubb for creating 99% of this project.
Richard for having the patriotic balls to come up with this.
Ron Ayers, the designer.
Daniel Jubb for being at the forefront of all things rocketry - I've still got a photo of Neil Armstrong stood next to this very mock up in its original clothes.
Not forgetting Mark & the rest on the design team.
Here here , well said
Add Lewis Hamilton as driver to tick that awful diversity box 🤮

I’ve been following the Bloodhound project for years. And I was so worried that it was dead. I really hope a new driver is found, and they go out and set a new land speed record. I wish the team the best of luck.
I think they put far to much emphasis on the project being an educational exercise instead of just building and running the car dragging out building time/cost to the point where sponsers lost money and or interest. Lets hope it doesn't go the same way again
@@joebloggs1317 I thought so too.. Last I heard was they were out of money...
I was only wondering what happened to it the other day.
I followed it since seeing it at the motor show, must be at least ten years ago. To be honest I've lost interest.@@joebloggs1317
Same here. Chucked a few £££ in the pot early on and got to see Bloodhound SSC as it was then and meet all the team at an event in Docklands in 2015. Great to see that the proect is still up for it.
"Join me on some better roads".
This was a fascinating episode Harry.
Good luck to Stuart and his team, hope he gets the funding he needs and is successful breaking the land speed record.
Just what I was thinking! Personally, I'd want to try this one out - even an Audi or BMW would attract me more...
@@Lemma01There are unfortunately 12 million reasons why we mortals cannot have a go.....
@@EvoraGT430 Only joking. I'm one of the few people who gets almost 40 mpg from his Elise...

Harry, my father was the chauffeur to Donald Campbell so I'm in utter awe! A fantastic video!
I thought Donald did his own driving!?
@@Sidowse Maybe his dad drove the hearse
I am so pleased to see blood hound back up and running again.
I’ve followed this project from the early days and was so sad to see it disappear after setting 600 mph
I cannot wait to see blood hound set a new land speed record sometime in the near future 🎉❤
Mrs Metcalf isn’t going to be too pleased if that’s ripping down the drive 😆
This remind me when Clarkson bought a fighterjet to put in the front lawn
@dani18sg Yes the EE Lightning made a proper mess of their front lawn!
Sounds like the next drive for Guy Martin. Bring it on.
As if the show couldn't get any better! Bloodhound in the garage. Fantastic. Well done.
It's a mockup. Not the real one.
I know, I watched the video. But who cares? The excitement is palpable. I hope Sunak gives Stuart the money. It's not as if austerity was necessary, from the money we see in the press every day...
@@steveleyland3358 Not just unnecessary, but counter-productive.
@@steveleyland3358
the printing press? ;) Britain is broke, but may as well start handing out money to these feel good projects before sinking. 13 Billion per month just on interest.
I miss being in the RAF, stuffed full of 'can do', enthusiastic people like this guy.
I don't miss it.
he can do everything except drive his own car
Given the amount of money this country wastes on other projects, I feel it's a real shame the nation cannot fund this. I understand that people will think it's a waste of money with everything else going on in the world, but the interest it could generate with future generations and the fact we can showcase UK engineering capabilities would (most likely) recoup every penny. Excellent video as always Harry 👍
Money is spent on housing illegal immigrants in hotels. It is now 5 billion + every year and growing as more arrive. Look at it this way, the government spending on roads is 24 billion. So a 5th of the road budget is used to house illegals in hotels. That doesn't cover everything like spending money etc for them, that 5 billion is just for the hotels.
@@HONDAVFRV4You need to stop reading the Daily Fail it's clearly doing your brain in!!!!. Instead of blaming the LEGAL immigrants why don't you blame the government for refusing to process them. Look to see how many 'illegal' immigrants came to the UK in 2010 or 2015. It is a situation caused deliberately by the government to hide just how shit they are at EVERYTHING ELSE.
I agree 100%
@@HONDAVFRV4they aren't illegal!
@@dougaltolan3017Of course they are illegal, otherwise they would just come on the channel ferry or eurostar
Always a great end to the week with another Harry's Garage video
It's been many years in the waiting... let's hope this project can finally get to its finale
I'm happy to hear the Bloodhound project is still alive!
Well the idea is alive still. Now just to find the way to make it Profitable.
I remember seeing Bloodhound (SSC) at Autosport International in 2012.. It's sad to see that 11 years later, we are still in a similar situation looking to try and make it a reality.
I sure hope Airfix make a nice detailed big model of this! Being a British endeavour.
Honestly, what a brilliant video and up there with one of your best.
I’ve been following the Bloodhound project from day one and over the years have contributed financially, albeit only tiny amounts. Both my name and my wife’s’ name are displayed on the tail fin to show our support and it’s a huge privilege knowing we had some input into this fantastic British endeavour. It’s even more exciting to know that this project still has a beating heart, so thank you Harry for keeping the flame alight with this video and we all keep our fingers crossed for the whole team that funding can be found soon for a world record attempt.
If I won the lottery, I'd give you the £12m to ensure the record stays in this country. This is the most awe inspiring engineering project and the UK should be very proud of the engineering know how and 'balls' the pull this off.
Hello if you win the lotto can you put another million aside for this project we’re
Helping out with the 400 mph bike record . Check out the 52 express Guy Martin is going to be riding it .
Brilliant to see it in the garage. In relative terms £12m is a bargain. Even a bang average footballer costs more than that these days. Really surprised theyve not had any takers if that's all it costs.
A couple of episodes of strictly comes dancing- I know which one I would rather watch
As any expensive car, it is not the purchasing price, but the maintenance costs that kill you
@@cvillalobos27 and probably best not to think about fuel consumption!
@@awild10 And on synthetic or bio fuel at £10 or whatever per litre. :)
Well that is great to see!
Myself and a team of 4 others made this mock up around 2012 ish. We manufactured a total of 3. 2 full scale, and the 1st just the front section when the original design was to have the HTP rocket on top and the jet engine on the bottom.
John Baker(Bakers Patterns) did an incredible job of machined the tooling for us in polystyrene from which we took moulds. Happy to see the model in good shape after all these years , it has done some serious mileage all over the globe.
The real carbon monocoque was made by URT a great company sadly not around any more, it was made up of very talented composite engineers who previously had worked at G-Force in Fontwell West Sussex who made the Thrust SSC main space frame front composite nose /nacelle and carbon intakes.
Wishing the team every success!
Was in Nevada in 1997 and was lucky enough to see thrust ssc go supersonic.. can't imagine seeing something going any faster
British 🇬🇧 Engineering at its best. Wish you every success
Best engineers in the world.
@@cliffordnicholls868 you know it
I have to say the vehicle is reminiscent of the TSR2, brilliant video, as ever..many thanks, Harry 👌😊‼️
Oh don’t say that😖. Don’t want this project to end up the way TSR2 did.
Wow, wasn't expecting that on the channel - and even less in the garage! Deeply fascinating project, looking forward to see them take that record.
Waiting to see you take that out on your normal route around the farm Harry!
The most interesting bit of this for me was the integration of the canopy under the air intake. It was designed to create a shock wave to slow the air Dow so the engine could process it. Very neat.
I attended a presentation by Andy Green in Truro maybe 7 years ago and watched the demo runs at St Mawgan. It’s an incredible project but one that always seems to be just short of the funding requirements. Andy is a different breed to you and I and that difference is palpable. He is a true gentleman and speaks of driving at these incredible speeds as you or I would about a Sunday morning cobweb clearing blast.
Andy Green
Agreed! For me it's hard to separate the project from the pilot. I remember seeing a video about the project years and years ago and he knew absolutely everything about the machine.
I really hope that someone comes forward with the money, but sticks Andy Green back in the driving seat. He's the chap who's done all the training and development and the cockpit is designed around him.
Sticking some random person in sounds like a good way to have a new record for fastest land speed death.
Yes you cant use anyone except Andy green behind the wheel, seems crazy to look for a new random driver
@@oddsandwindsocks5905 They will probably want some bame lqbt+ in a wheelchair to do it🙄🙄🙄
@@JamesSmith-qs4hx yes your probably right it sad to say
Watching some of the Thrust SSC documentaries it's clear that Andy isn't even human.
I believe he’s said he doesn’t want to do it any more. Plus he’s 61 now, there has to be a limit somewhere where reaction times start to really drop off
It sounds like a job for an ex F1 driver with some money and backing or Guy Martin type figure with a TV subscription company behind him! Well done Harry on getting this onto your channel!
My immediate thought was that SLH would make the ideal LSR pilot!
It definitely suits the skill set of a pilot not a driver. It's basically a land jet.
My thoughts as well. But he's probably busy for the next year at least!
I'll do it. Retired, so have the time. Drive a 2005 Citroen Picasso. What better experience is there? Would my flat cap fit under the canopy?
Well done Harry, thanks for doing your bit to support the project 👍
This has been going on for years!!! I really hope they get this over the line… Incredible challenge
So pleased to see them back on track..Will be watching avidly.
Nice new cowling to the rear wheels.
DEFINITELY, the best intro of them all so far 🤙
This was brilliant Harry! I really appreciated the deep dive given on, not only how it is designed, but also the way they have thought out everything, including the way to fund the project. Absolutely fascinating and enlightening. Thank you again! Still waiting to see you ripping by when out driving. This definitely would have grabbed my attention. 😂
You might want to re-visit the description, but the actual video is top notch. So if they're looking for a new driver has Dead Dog decided he'd like to make it to old age?
Every success to the team, a massive vehicle.
Good luck with this. I’ve been supporting this for over a decade. Lets go!
Fantastic to see the car again, was under the impression the project had died. Looking forward to future updates
Wow Harry you have knocked it out of the park, this is just next world sensational broadcasting… ❤💯🥂🇦🇺🍾✅
Bulldog spirit for the Bloodhound! I wish the them the very best of luck!
Wonderful to bring back attention to an amazing project.
Thank you Harry for highlighting a stunning STEM project that will benefit us all.
It is very interesting how this rocket on wheels will behave in a turn at the intersection of your favorite roads A361 and B4437
passing out of the 30mph zone and accelerating up the hill first. Not sure it'll do the cornering quite as well as the acceleration
A few years ago Bloodhound ran an public fundraising thing where by entering you could get your name written on tailfin. I did take part in that. I wonder if I should apply for driver's position on that basis and the fact that I've done 96 mph in my Yaris.
Harry never fails to surprise! Very interesting video.
This was wicked really enjoyed it absolutely mind-blowing the numbers and the challenges involved in this project
What an awesome machine 👌 hope the record run will happen soon 🙏
Always been fascinated and inspired by LSR projects. Great video and a great project.
Just waiting for Harry to take it on "some more interesting roads".
Absolutely great video Harry. I've been following from South Africa the project for the past years . Excellent content from both of you. Ill be there to watch the record been broken. Gods speed to the new driver / landspeed breaker.
I thought this project was dead because I hadn't heard anything about it for a while, so glad it's still going. Hope they are successful and everyone stays safe.
Extremely interesting and inspiring! I am so happy with the fact that the project is alive and moving forward! The only two things that disappoint me a bit are dropping the blue & orange livery and changing the pilot.
I really do hope this gets up and running again. I've always been inspired by land speed record cars and the technology involved. You often here people saying 'what's the point, it's not relevant' etc.. but it's about pushing boundaries, education, science and engineering ... If I landed a massive euromillions win, I'd be funding this tomorrow. Not driving it mind you ... 🤣
Watching thrust SSC as a child definitely got me interested in mechanics and engineering, one of the moments that makes me proud to be British. Can't wait to see this in action
Amazing Harry, just 'wow'. This has to happen. I was gripped from start to finish.
My name was on the tail plane as a fundraiser for the last run in 2019…..I hope they get the money to do 800mph….it’s an amazing challenge 👍👌🇮🇲
Wonderful and inspiring, great stuff, thanks a lot.
My boys and I were lucky enough to be (a tiny) part of the volunteer team who built the K'NEX actual size model of Bloodhound, back in 2014. Their names are on the fin of the actual car, so we are all connected to this fabulous, inspirational project. It's so great to see the team still battling away to see their dream realised. Keep going folks 🥰
Good old Arthur Spriggs. What a good job. Really great to see this project lives on. Been a long gestation. Brilliant.
Descriptionsd wrong, talking about Mc20
Seriously impressive engineering. My missus has a scale model in her dresser drawer...
7:56 'iconic british project' umm not exactly. It was a joint effort by Rolls Royce, British Aerospace, SNECMA and France Aérospatiale.
Yep political license 😂
This thing and the gang behind it need to tour every primary school in the land 👏👏👏
Fantastic Enthusiastic approach to this project. Very Good Luck & thanks Harry
Imagine Harry rolling that down Burford High Street 😂
34:45 Sure sounds like Harry is headed to 800!
Very interesting insight into the project and well done for getting to the farm
A truly interesting video and a project that I look forward to following.
Fabulous film. Great to see boundaries being tested and pushed further by such a great and fundamentally simple thing - to be the fastest. Fingers crossed investment is forthcoming and success is achieved to reward the brilliant engineers behind it.
Impressive, are the servicing parts easily available? I'll buy one if so.
Easy, just costs a bit
Amazing. Looks fabulous in the garage. He's a good guy.
Facinating. Absolutely enjoyed that. TQ very much. I would be terrified going at those speeds on Land !.
The Grand Tour should get Hammond to have a go... Jet car 2.0
Looking forward to the squirt up the hill out of Burford…..
Lucky to talk to Andy Green a few years about this and what a guy to talk to. I didn't do much talking but could have listened to him for hours.
Fascinating! Good luck!🎉😊
This car has seemed like vapourware for the last decade , and it did seem like it was getting real just prior to 2020 but as we are now in the 15th year of development (Thrust SSC only took 5) this cars story has kind of always felt very odd and capped off (I always wondered if they were looking for a race with the North American Eagle akin to Spirit of America - Formula Shell LSRV and the Thrust SSC in 1997). I really do hope it eventually gets a go with a rocket along with the new management. Good luck Bloodhound!
This round of land speed record always seemed a bridge too far to fund. It's great to see.
They need to run it somewhere else besides bonneville
The bonneville salt flats are way different today than 1997. Climate change has led to different levels of rainfall and salt has been leeching out of the flats for decades as its not being replenished as fast as its being removed by nature.
Potash mining nearby has to do with this also.
The flats reached its peak in area in 1994
Today it is less than half that size. These guys are dreaming a pipe dream if thats where they are going to attempt a run. Speed week was almost canceled this year due to rain and it was canceled in 2022
Australia has a promising lake bed of similar size that does not have this problem.
@@dylanmccallister1888 I think they were planning to run it somewhere in Africa. Some sort of Pan or something like that. The name escapes me.
@@mammoet1133Hakseen Pan iirc
A better turning circle than a Clio V6….
Less luggage space though
I was in 5th grade when I first started following the bloodhound. In the time I've been waiting for it to set the record I've now graduated with a Computer Engineering degree, Fluid Dynamics Degree, and a minor in physics.
love how you got them to pull that into your garage like all the reviews
I do wonder how noisy that’ll be on the favourite bit of road, let alone the acceleration out of Burford!
I hope they get the funding but putting a random millionaire in the drivers seat is madness.
I wish Richard Noble was still part of this. This really is his car and vision.
Can't tell you how cool it is to see the project is still alive, last I recall was it was put on hold because of financial issues.
RaceCar Engineering have had some good articles on it over the years.
At around 1300 km/h in speed, my 4 km to work would take... 1.44 sec. Wow! A little slow, but it should do. 🙃
Went the wrong way with your maths :), 4km would take 11.07 seconds! 1300km/h is 0.36km/s
@@brothertwinzCome on, he must not account extra for parking.
@@brothertwinzYes, i can see where i was wrong. I should have taken 0.36 x 2,7 and then x4. 10,8 i correct. Thanks! Math can be hard.
I wonder if Billy Monger could be the driver they are looking for. That would be a story.
I’ve never cared for any of this but I appreciate the exposure from this video. Thank you for the education!
Thank you for the video chaps. Looking forward to seeing a new World Record.
Almost as heavy as a modern EV.
27:26 "It is stream and oxygen. Of course that's green and the rest if it" the EV similarities go on for miles :)
Love this video,everything explained in the best terms,this is Genius.
Great video Harry!
This video delivers a most wonderful news - Bloodhound LIVES!!!
And there I was thinking, nothing could possibly top the F40 and F50 skulking
in the background....only you could do something like this Harry!! 😎
Great to hear from Stuart, he really knows his stuff.
It must be something else working on a project like this, I really hope they can
get that main sponsor they need to get this project moving again.
Excellent explanation from the engineer. Cheers -
That is awesome, what a great episode.
Mental - Im sold, this is proper engineering madness to get behind. Its amazing.
Fantastic, really enjoyable watch!
Great video, and what an enthusiastic, knowledgeable project lead. Good luck!
I was lucky enough to go to Avonmouth on my birthday in 2016 and see this car being assembled at the industrial estate where the project was based. I met Richard Noble who signed my corgi model I bought on the day. I saw the car as in its disassembled state, the jet engine and the fuel tanks, the carbon fibre monocoque etc. It was in its original blue and orange livery. I saw all the African test runs as well - I so hope they get the funds to go to the original 1000mph they talked about back in 2014 - 800mph is that stepping stone. So good to see Bloodhound re-live.
Another Great Video Harry Thanks
