So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

A friend of mine at work is curently building a 3 giant turbo-based jet engined kart ..... he's a nutter but apart from that a great guy.

I'll get some details and post them up.

Looking for 100mph plus ..... as I said, nutter!!!

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

Hi,
On the subject of crazy jet engines for propulsion, I once read a road test article about a company who built motorbikes with a jet engine from a helicopter with chain drive to the rear wheel *surprised*
Cheers,
Gavin :)

Well i was in the understanding that if the motive force was in the form of a hot jet of gas shooting out the back, its a jet turbine, if on the other hand, the hot gas is used to drive a turbine that is fixed to a shaft to drive a gearbox, for instance, then this is a gas turbine.

Have i got it wrong, knowing my fuzzy logic, i have.
