But it takes at least a few minutes to get going from a cold start - not
acceptable, unless there's an answer to that.

The old Doble Steam Cars.I would like to see steam cars make a come

Now, you're talking.
Any evidence?
Say, I come out to my steam car on a cold morning, get in and fire her
up. By the time I've attached my seatbelt and tuned the radio, I'm ready
to drive off normally, right?
I hope it's true because I like the idea of steam power, especially if
it's minus the high pressure vessel.
