No windscreen and we had it up to probably 70mph at times. And you are indeed correct about the terror aspect. I have driven a car in excess of 200mph (McClaren F1 and a Top Fuel dragster) and felt more comfortable at that then I did today. An hour later and I am so adrenalized that I can barely type this.
The operating procedure alone is something to behold. Transferring water from tank to boiler, adjusting the burner levels and leaving behind a cloud of rapidly evaporating steam.
