This may interest a digger , more bad news on Brit industry.

The company had recently taken a decision to design and manufacture its own specific diesel engines to power their construction projects, and after having a look at the latest piece of news, it is evident they have done that exceptionally well!

JCB is one of the leading manufacturing and construction equipment making organization of the world. With a history of providing quality innovative products the company has added another feather to its cap.

A car built by JCB has broken the diesel engine land speed record after reaching 328.767mph (529km/h). A JCB Dieselmax spokesman said the vehicle attained the average speed during two runs in Utah, USA. The team behind the 23ft-long (7m) racer has spent a week testing the Dieselmax in Utah. Andy Green was the man at the wheels of the machine. The record will likely become official when a FIA board meets next month. The vehicle was first built three months ago. It was completely rebuilt three days ago following testing at Speed Week, when the vehicle reached an average speed of 308 mph Thursday. That run was not observed by FIA.

Green drove a vehicle powered by two large diesel engines that have a combined total of 1,500 horsepower. Each is a 4-cylinder, 4.4-liter engine used commercially as a backhoe loader. The engines are twice as powerful as ones found in a Formula One race car, but use only half the fuel

Sir Anthony Bamford, chairman of JCB, said: "This is a marvelous achievement for JCB, and a wonderful tribute to British engineering."
NX supported the creation of the initial concept designs for JCB's first engine, the JCB444 and enabled the development team to take their early ideas through the rigorous virtual and physical testing process to produce the finished complex 3D model. Data from the NX solid model was used in the manufacture of final components and contributed to a successful first launch.

But as said I like the people, but in comparison to Melbourne and Brum, I prefer Melbourne, hands over.
I used to work in 5 ways and that's the other side of town for me, much preferred working in the centre of Brum. I agree there are some horrible parts around the city that I would not consider entering, but a lot of places have bad inner city areas it's not exclusive to Brum. For example, my friend lives in Nottingham, it has a terrible reputation for crime but she lives in a beautiful part of Nottingham, lovely views and country lanes and low crime. So I don't think it's fair to base a city on it's few bad areas.

I have never been to Melbourne but would very much love to go one day. I'm not comparing them, I don't really agree with the Oz versus UK comparison thing, it just gets too ridiculous. I just object to people slating Birmingham because it's my home town and it feels personal.

So what I'm trying to say is leave us out of it! I'm not on here slating other peoples homes so I'd appreciate it if the courtesy was returned.

So you still think it's funny to piss yourself laughing over someone's pet cat being run over - nice - very nice
Let's hope someone runs something over you love and see if you're pissing yourself laughing then...

Remarkable achievement, you'd think the front bucket would create a substantial amount of drag, though there'd be no need for a drag chute as lowering the back arm would slow momentum sufficiently.
I heard Shamus O'Mulligan discovered the top speed by accident while returning from a lunchtime session drinking Guinness and eating peanuts he was caught short a mile away from Wimpey Homes site toilet.
