OH.....MY......GOD, thats coooooool!

Looks like a nice job to, well put together. That thing must be a hoot to drive, er.....pilot. The car is listed as having 150K miles on the clock. I wonder, did he put all that on it using the jets? Just kidding. Id like to pull up at the local filling station in that and ask for JP or kerosene. Gotta do something better with the aerodynamics though, that front wing is a bit to much although I'm sure its neccessary to keep the thing from trying to go orbital.
 
Nice fabrication job, but no reverse, that's gotta make getting out of the supermarket parking lot a pain. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

He needs to install thrust reversers!
 
I know this car personally, that guy has built several jet cars and just recently sold is Dakota jet truck. Maybe I can post some videos of his cars running.
 
If you go to a lot of tailgate parties, this car is a must have. It’s transportation AND a barbeque!

Well, if you're going to that why not afterburners?

Hey, how about installing "thrust vectoring" nozzles, like the new F-22 has and the Russian Su-27 and 31 Flankers.

Talk about powder induced oversteer and being able to steer with the throttle... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Tullamore... (since everyone else is ignoring your post)

That would be neat to see some of those videos, that would be quite a blast!
 
Here is some pictures of his latest car, that is my MG in the background.

I'll try to post some videos of his Z and MR2 jet cars soon!
 
Wow, that Eclipse is cool, but whats the deal with those two tailpipes? One on the left looks like the stock piece, but whats that tenny little one on the right for?
 
Way cool! Remember the old Batman TV series? Robin would always say "Atomic batteries to power, turbines to speed!". Sounds like a potential Batmobile! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yesnod.gif Then you would just need a way to spray some extra fuel into the exhaust to make it trail flames /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif.
 
wow... that 280z racing up and down that deserted stretch of high way is aswsome... I love how the noise doesn't match the car... room mate's 14 y.o. just didn't under stand why i was laughing my arse off watching the video.... I love it! i need me 1 or 2 of those things!! hehehe
