Jet Car/Bike!

I saw this vehicle going down the road and jumped on the 30 MPH RCG golf cart and chased him down. This vehicle was designed by Bede, the same guy that designed the jet used in the 007 movie. This thing was very cool!!

Very cool! I was driving near my parents place in Lakeland Florida and my Wife captured this picture of a similar Jet/Bike doing 70 MPH on her camera phone (too bad I didn't have my camera in the car!). Wonder if there is some type of club for this kind of thing?

It was on Saturday and I literally had to jump in the RCG golf cart and run him down and make him stop. I told him to swing back by to let everyone see it but he never stopped.

Those are both very cool!

My only questions are: A) is it turbine powered? and B) where can I get one?
