Come on guys - forget a dry power jet - if you really want to fit a jet then at least make it a decent one with reheat.......

Too expensive to drive to LM Mark. Think of the fuel bill.

However, there was recently a milk float for sale on ebay that had a fully running Jet Provost engine bolted where the pintas should be. Went for a mere two grand. Now that WAS good value!

Yup, but it is only paraffin, it is much more impressive, and you do get there much quicker......if i was able to upload a piccy (which I can't at the moment, because the system keeps telling me the upload folder is full) you could see those lovely shock diamonds........  The Jet Provost was the milk float of the aviation world - constant thrust, variable noise.
