Very very cool

Especially like the dash

.....one problem though

The price needs dividing by 1000 before i could start thinking about it


Jon Ison - 10/5/07 at 09:10 PM

Its the 1200bhp that puts a on my face.

I'm only a lottery win away from competing in the BOSS series, that's one race series I would love too do, procomp, fancy running the car for me ?


Duncan_P - 10/5/07 at 09:19 PM

Do you think i could persuade SWMBO that this one is a comparitve bargin

Have to say though....I have always had a soft spot for silly turbine cars so if i won the lottery it would have to be this maybe i could even pick it up from FOS this year


Jon Ison - 10/5/07 at 09:21 PM

I like this bit in the description......


"FUEL: JP5 kerosene Jet Fuel."


Duncan_P - 10/5/07 at 09:26 PM

Yer could make my idea of making it road legal a bit difficult

Yep. I took the pic at Stoneleigh. It was on the Dax stand.

Can you imagine the look on the SVA inspectors face if you turned up with that

It'd take more than a bit of rubber trim to make him happy I bet

I think I may have helped a little too........

Years ago during my grasstracking days we raced at Mamby, lincolnshire, there was a tractor pulling event on at the same time, one or two of them had funny turbine thingy engines, one was started by spinning it up with an air tool powered by a bottle of welding gas then a lit rag soaked in petrol was tossed down the exhaust............
Interesting too say the least.


speedyxjs - 11/5/07 at 07:12 AM

Well while we are on the subject, did anyone go to the mph shiow last year?
They had a jet powered bicycle!
That was crazy, and the rode it.


Duncan_P - 11/5/07 at 08:26 AM

Was it one of these

There are also a few a bit more in the spirit of Locost like this one

Personally though.... the idea of a jet turbine powered car is so the idea of a jet powered bike is just plain scary.

On the positive side both would soon sort out any tailgaiters

An the Y2K. Loveley bike. One bloke who was out on his said it can be a pain at times. He was at a traffic queue and the car behind edged up so the driver could get a better view. He edged forwards a bit more and the cycle repeated a few times. When the lights changed and he pulled away the driver found out all the edging up resulted in his front bumper melting
