Some people have too much time on there hands:kilroy:

I'd say that wing on the roof will cause the roof to come down on your head at about ........... 65 MPH.
HUH! :jump:

I think that's an APU? If so, it'd generate a gawdawful amount of noise, and possibly electrical power, but that's about it.

Took another look and noticed the name on the wing...
Alturair makes airframe kits for the BD-5 and other things aeronautical.
I'd be thinking of a time-expired MicroTurbo engine from a BD-5 would be a candidate.

"The BD-5J is the jet version of the aircraft, the result of mating the BD-5 fuselage and a shortened 17-foot (5.18 m) wingspan with the Microturbo TRS-18 turbojet engine, manufactured by Microturbo in Toulouse, France, and by Ames Industrial in the United States under license from Microturbo.

Airframe kits for this tiny jet are still available from BD Micro Technologies and Alturair in San Diego, California, but the engines are much harder to find, as Microturbo no longer sells them for man-rated applications."

BD-5G anyone?

Here's one that even a bit more extreme....the engineering on this one is top notch. Note the comment about the California DMV asking the fed's if this thing can be considered a threat to national security.

Golf cart on steroids, a Firefly Beetle, and a Honda scooter built to flame-grill hotdogs. LOL Ingenuity from people with more time on their hands than they know what to do with.

Ya All watch this!!!hehe

That beetle is cool and I'd like to shake his hand. For a man with such obvious skills and an awesome education, he sure doesn't write well...:bump:

[cheezyflier]

when i was a kid, i thought that was the coolest car ever made!
i still forget to breathe when i hear that car as he goes through the gears with the front end in the air :icon_lol:

And obviously more money than they know what to do with as well. I'm sure all this crap ain''t cheap. :bump:

:gameon:

http://www.ronpatrickstuff.com/ < On this one, I wonder how the air manages to get to the intake. I.e. thu the side windows? Hummm...

Wonder what people said about a couple of bicycle makers in 1902... :kilroy:

Probably something like..

"Quit fapping around and fix me puncture!" :kilroy::bump:

Yup, as stated in the post. If you didn't like reading it like Tigisfat, it said, "Air for the jet enters the car through the two side windows and the sunroof. It's a little windy inside but not unbearable." Then he goes on to complain about losing roses all the time into the intake, so he made an intake screen, so perhaps some additional ducting might have been a good idea... I'm surprised the MR-2 gets enough air through the side intakes and hood louvers for two engines.

Wrong guy, buddy. If you didn't like reading it, it was 'AZ1USN'. :icon_lol:

Sorry - I assumed this meant you didn't like (didn't enjoy?) reading it:

I hate to tell you guys this but there is a reason for the jet carts. When you hit the ball you can be at the other end before it hits the ground. Now....what is wrong with that ??? :monkies:
