What Do You Drive?

[Krummhorn]

Hopefully the rider has v-e-r-y long legs to straddle those "engines" :grin:
At least whatever got in its way would be ... uhh ... umm ... re"cycled" . :lol:

 

[marval]

Re"cycled, HaHa, but they would definately need long legs. You would need to hang on tight I expect.

Where are one's feet going to be situated on that bike? You don't want your feet in front of the intakes do you? Sucked in, chewed up, torched, and blown out the the back....Plus, you don't want to be next to the compressor case if the thing explodes....Shrapnel!!!

If you must have a jet engine in a car:

Wow, that was quite something. Definately not for the faint hearted.

Indeed Ms. Margaret - the intake noise of this engine is a high-pitched whistling shriek that'll make one's heart stop. Even with that screen in front of the intake I still wouldn't want to be sitting almost in front of it. Since the gentleman was an Engineer with a Ph.D I wondered why he didn't design and manufacture a reverse-cowl intake with ducting to the jet inlet. The reverse cowl intake would be mounted on the roof. He could then drive with the windows rolled up; although it would get very hot inside the car.

With eleven stages of compression the air temp inside the engine will be around 800F - and thats before it reaches the combustion chamber which will add around 1000F.

Where's the hoop?

Hey GC, no picture...

Hi CD

Yes I think a cowl would be a very good idea, I wouldn't want to be anywhere too near it, not without possibly earplugs and a flamesuit.

Here is one for people who don't mind heights. Has anyone got a ladder?

 

[Corno Dolce]

Now thats a Dune Buggy Ms. Margaret - No doubt about it!

 

[marval]

Yes CD, it is, not one for busy streets.

Hi Mat

That's an interesting car, it looks a little like the smart car.




Well I would give you guys a lift, but there is only room for one.

 

[marval]

Here's a car to keep clean in.

 

[marval]

Well I have had my van converted.

I can´t tell how much it pleases me Ms. Margaret :tiphat::clap::banana::trp:, the improvements on your favourite pedal driven car.

 

[marval]

Hi Intet

Yes, it is an improvement to my pedal car.


Here is the perfect bike for a girl.

Great pink bike noticing the head of a pig as head lights :clap::clap::clap::clap:Wonder what or who she was thinking of while creating this pink bike.

 

[marval]

Hi Intet

I don't know what they were thinking, but it must have been for someone who likes pink. Not sure why the pigs though, at least they will get noticed when they go out.


Margaret.

Here's a motorised shoe.

I have a strange feeling that this thread evolved from *What Do You Drive* to *Funny/Strange Cars' Pictures*
