They have finalized the design for the Bloodhound - rocket powered kite to attempt a land speed record and hoping for 1000mph:

Always wished I could drop a mini windjet fuselage over a buggy frame to see what it could do :-)

How about a JATO bottle while I wait for the BBC page to load

Very cool concept. I think mock one is a very fast speed to try to stop from though!
As for moving a buggy how about one of the remote drones they are using over Pakastan? Small lite and fast. Oh and only a few million dollars!!
