I saw the jetcar episode of Junkyard Wars. This guy was one of the experts. Really cool!

Hmmm.... disguise a couple of jet engines as supertrapps. It will help with a little extra get-up on the straightaways!

It'd be even more fun if he had a .50cal M2 on the back rolleyes.gif

...hey...there's a guy in the neighborhood with a halftrack... blink.gif

The twin merlin car is s-e-r-i-o-u-s-l-y cool... interesting that the driver sits so far foreward. The guy's got a serious need for speed! boldblue.gif

a man who's alligance is ruled by expedience
Call him a Nazi, he won't even frown
'Nazi-Smazi', says Verner Von Braun"

"Some say that he's hypocritical
Say rather that he's a Political
'Vonce zee rockets are up who cares ver zey come down
That's not my department' ", says Verner von Braun
