Awesome pics!
Always had an affinity for the jet cars over the years as my uncle raced this one in Australia in the late 60's.

I think about 1984 I saw one of his relatives on a quad atv with a small jet on it. Crazy.
That reminds me theres a local exotic car dealer here who had a motorcycle with a jet in it. I am thinking he said it was a helicopter starter engine?? He had taken it to another dealer and backed into a parking place. When he went to leave caught the mulch on fire!

Heard a story where he tied a J79 jet engine to some trees in his yard -- pointed it out to the swamp and fired it up to test it. Pissed off his neighbors!
