Jet RC Truck
I found this a while ago and thought it would interest a few people. Its a radio controlled truck, with a difference. Its got a jet engine attached.
Full details can be found here:

I actually saw a full size one a Truckfest a few years ago. They tried to beat the world record for rolling a transit van with the thrust.

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Here's a link to all you may want to know

I went to the 2nd World Jet Masters at Wroughton in 1997 (IIRC).
Stood by the AMT Pegasus engine (http://www.amtjets.com/) - absolutely awesome. They bought out the Olympus about 5? years ago with about 50 lb
thrust

Motorhead....or....Iron Maiden....i think Maiden are better, but motorhead arent far behind! My avatar is a copy of the Motorhead logo I drew last
summer.
Ben...if you email the guys at GM Models they are very helpful, and would probably tell you the price if you want to know  , but it wont be cheap!
