Never ceases to amaze me what some people do to their cars I mean really, how silly is a turbine engine

Feat of engineering, great curio but for everyday ?????

Hmmm, slightly dodgy steering wheel technique there!! "It's a car not a bike man!!!!"

What sort of speed do you think it's doing on that slightly straight bit of road? Didn't seem incredibly fast, did sound pretty cool though

Cheers,

I think so. There's a couple of small vids and some pics. Got them on ebay actually! Will have a go at posting later.

Not a practical roadgoing vehicle for a few reasons - not least the fuel consumption - 25-30 Us gallons per hour!

Mindst you, it does burn Jet-A1 which only costs about 46p a litre and only 5% VAT......
