does it come with a free funeral?
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but its sinking, Racing around to come up behind you again, the sun is the same in a relative way but
your older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death

after watching the videos, it doesn't look like it goes fast enough to give you more than a grazed knee

Someone in the UK has build a DAX Rush using an Jet engine from a Bell Ranger helicopter if I'm not mistaking,
the entiry driveline weighed something like a 100KG's and produced the equivalent of 300hp or something in that aera, the turbine was however
used to drive a driveshaft instead of it being proppeld by combustion thrust.
Now where did I leave that piccie?
edit:
Ah here it is

That C5 sounds even cooler than a bec. I bet a 90 degree bend on the end of the exhost pipe would make the handling interesting.

The Rush was built by the R&D guy at Dax. Not sure of his surname but his name is Gary.
If its broke, fix it. If it aint broke, take it apart and find out how it works!
