h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Haze, you're on the team!
*Hi 5!*
Woo!
*Hi 7!*
Shed, huh?
Not like the Batmobile® then?
Well, hey, you're the aerodynamageek!
I like the idea of the Chrysler 4.3L Hemi. Sounds like would be able to handle anything which gets stuck to the windscreen, in case the fodders miss something/one. Excellent.
Could you consult with the Chief Mechnaniac? We all need to be singing off the same neck of the woods here. Later.
*Joolsee exits, pleased.*

Ta for the wax. If you require sponsoring by a pub quiz, then count me in. I'm off for a test run on my newly waxed tea tray now.

And can't the Waterworks themsleves be a sponser????

Did you know that Thrust 2 - the World's Record Breaking car up until Thrust SSC broke it's record, was built on the Isle of Wight?

Screeeeech!!!!
*Munchkin arrives on tea tray, looking somewhat windswept*
Woo hoo. That was a grand run. I expect I can do a lot better on my next run, especially if I don't stop for lunch half way down.

OK, so when do I get to bite my lip & look all concerned...?

Why don't you stop biting your lip and looking concerned beautiful blonde lady whom I've not seen around here before.

*E decides that perhaps she'd better take off the blonde wig until she was needed...*

Patience! Patience! The first test run will be this evening, though it may be a slow one as the Chief Mechanic and the Aerodynamageek havn't finished building the car yet. If they get a spurt on, we might get the car ready for a "proof of concept" run.

I'll just go and add the new sponsors to my home page. Thanks everyone!

BTW, does anyone have a contact in the h2g2 Chapter of the Hell's St. John's Ambulance Brigade? They will be doing the first-aid and security.

Sorry...I don't know anyone...

*E bites her lip & looks all concerned...*

Me neither.

Perhaps we could find willing volunteers...people who would be willing to learn?

Right. You're all on the list.
No contacts? So who's going to apply splints and look threatening!
*Places hands on hips.*
No wonder Richard Noble lost so much weight.

Oh, volunteers! Great idea. Sorted then.
I'll just nip off to the donut stand to fet the fuel.
*Joolsee leaves carrying large string bag.*

*Joolsee has been gone for a while.*
*Suddenly J and E can be seen coming up the beach, weighed down by a huge string bag full of donuts.*
Grunt! Strain!

*Joolsee and Eomando put the donuts down next to Doughbird DPSSC.*
We have fuel, and donuts. Hands out the ring donuts to the team.

Ta.

*Empties 700 mobius donuts into the tank.*
*Places 3 custard donuts in the priming canister.*
*Slots the priming canister into the top of the fuel tank.*
Phew. OK. Are we ready for the next stage?

Shouldn't the mechanic-engineer people be here... After all...if something went wrong...*E bites her lip & looks concerned*

Naar! How hard can it be? Mind you, I'm the one who's decided to drive this thing. I mean, how bright does that make me?
*Ponders this for a while.*
*Doesn't like the answer.*

*Neither does E... She bites her lip and looks even more concerned*
