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

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

Yep. I took the pic at Stoneleigh. It was on the Dax stand.
There was a post a while back about it on here as well:

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.

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
