JCB breaks speed record

A car made by JCB has broken its own diesel land speed record by reaching over 350mph.

The JCB Dieselmax reached the speed during two runs on the Bonneville salt flats in Utah, USA.

The Staffordshire-built vehicle was driven by Wing Commander Andy Green from RAF Wittering in Cambs.

The previous diesel land speed record is 236mph (380km/h), set in August 1973 reports the Guardian.

The Dieselmax car is powered by two turbo-charged JCB engines built at the company's plant at Rocester.

Wing Cdr Green completed a first run with an average speed of 365.779mph and returned at 335.695mph to set the latest record.

He said: "Fantastic. A second record in 24 hours, which I don't believe has been done since the 1960s.

"The car has still got loads to give. I throttled back on the second run and we haven't even used sixth gear yet, so the car can still go faster."

Today is 8/24/2006. I'm turning 17 today? Anyone out there has the same birthday as me? I was born in 1989.

Could we have the same personality?
I act like a true virgo. perfectionistic. (although it is said virgos like everything to be organize and neat and clean, i'm very messy and a bit dirty myself, but i couldn't stand other dirty stuffs)
I am very shy.
I worry a lot.
I'm also very indecisive.

Does it depend on the people? Does it depend on depth or strength of the connection between those 2 people? Or is it really true....that in the end we have the same internal-programmin....simply incapable of really stayin in a long-distance relationship, for very long anyway?

I liked this girl really badly. i started talking to her and everything was going well until my friend asked what she thought of me. She liked me as a friend. The words you hate to hear. How can i get into a relationship with this girl or is it too late. I am not very good with relationships. Should i just ask her out or would that ruin our friendship. I would rather be her friend than nothing at all.

What should i do????
