Impressive, but you cant help but feel 103 years to beat the previous record by 12mph is rather slow on the development front. That said it took mankind how many years to be able to travel faster than running pace?

i wonder if they have a tap attached to the engine to brew up from,the way the old steam engines used to

I agree with Jerky, pointless and a frankly rubbish margin to break it by, I could throw my kettle faster than that!
