Semi Truck With 3 Jet Engines

Post by viperbl » Mon Aug 06, 2007 10:10 pm

During TT we have the Jet Quad bike out here, and dam the bangs are loud, and when its running full pelt the sound, well, you feel it!! I can't imagine what this bad boy is like to see live!!

Guess he is not so worried about his carbon footprint?? :P

Yeah, I wonder if I could fit one of those in my boot... another good reason to have an avant: space for a jet turbine! :lol:

It's in the order of 370Mph. Wicked.

Anyone remember Steve Murty from Todmordon, he had a couple of show vehicles that used to turn up regularly at the New York Raceway at Pocklington nr York. there was the Vauxhall ventura wheelie car and his rocket powered Ford Cargo van. that thing could burst your ear drums at 100 paces
