    Wasn't sure if this was relevant enough for the main forum. But I thought it was neat.

    Not sure if this is where I want to be in a crash, but the guy's definately got some Batman fetish going on.

    And it has a JET ENGINE!

    I saw the back end and thought.. look at that fake nozzle, then I saw the build pics.. Sweet turbo converted to Jet.

    Nice to see the nanny-state that is the UK has a soft spot for mad tinkers.

    Per the builder - "It's a horrendous car to drive....... That's why I love it!". Now there's a GRM-worthy quote.

    Specs for the car list 205-50-10's; that's meaty Mini territory.
