Sinclair C5 - Rocket Powered

Rocket C5

“Note that jet engines are inherently dangerous things to run and must be treated with care and respect, you will be solely responsible for your own safety and the people around you.”So says the seller of the pictured, souped-up C5.
According to the sellers eBay listing I am with some reluctance selling it to fund another jet related project. *grin*Expect speeds of up to 100 mph!

According to the creator’s homepage for the project :
There are Jet Powered Shopping Trolleys, Go Karts, Lawn Mowers and even a Jet Powered Wheel Chair.
This says to me that there is only one thing left to do and that is build a Jet Powered Sinclair C5.

I still can’t help but think you’d look like a 7w@7 driving it down the street though. (8+D

Now that’s something I’d expect to see them build and test on Top Gear.

I’d love to take that for a spin.

Jet powered! Phew! I would have though a good curry could give it a true afterburner.

Top speed so far is 50mph expected top speed 100mph + for the very brave with afterburner fuel being Vindaloo.
Loo being the operative word, or Phaal, also known phonetically as ‘tinderloo’. how appropriate is that?.
