Spotted this lurking suspiciously outside our local branch of HSBC on Saturday. I think the local Plods' Astra Diesels would have trouble giving chase, for the first Quarter Mile anyway.













Actually it was the Rushden Powerfest, promoting next week's Drag Racing. They did some burn-outs round the one-way system too:

I thought you needed something daft, like an act of Parliament, to close roads for this sort of stuff
