New Engine

[gingea1pom]

I might have found a new engine for my roadster here (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BAC-TSR2-RAF-Aircraft-Olympus-320-Jet-Engine-TSR-2-/140408084962?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item20b0f959e2).

It will blow the budget though.;)

Cheers Ginge

that was just as funny when it was posted on locost builders last month.

Well I am truly sorry.:confused:

Maybe just maybe not everyone on here frequents LCB.:eek:

Sorry if you have seen this before everyone.:p

Cheers Ginge

I hadn't seen it before Ginge and I go on LCB as much as the haynes forum.

It made me laugh. You have to ask though, how does a farm owner end up with a prototype jet engine, even if it is going for scrap, surely it would go to a scrap dealer not a farmer? :D

[gingea1pom]

I know, what farmer would say “no worries mate just stick it in that barn”!:eek:

£2,000,000.00 :eek: :eek: :eek:

Thats nearly a google of noughts (i know its not but it is a lot).

Fantastic piece of engineering considering its 45 years of age. Wonder what power to weight ratio you'd get for that, think it might beat the Bugatti Veron......;)

Good Find......AndyH

Brake Horse Power per Tonne????
Make your front wings a bit longer and a bit straighter, and I reckon your roadster will really FLY:D :D
Seriously though, how much money would you need in the bank to contemplate buying this. 100 million?? 200 million ??
Not sure I'd ever be able to justify it to the wife, no matter how much dough I had :)

Would you need to uprate the brakes? :o

Reverse thrust,just leave a big hole in the nose cone !
