I want to make a Jet Engine!

As always, I was cruising around the interwebs looking at all sorts of car and motorcycle stuff.  I stumbled upon a video of Jay Leno’s jet engine powered motorcycle:

I love the surprising sound that comes from this thing.  You have to remind yourself that you are looking at a motorcycle!

 

 

 

Then, I was thinking, how hard is it to get ahold of a jet engine?  Just a little one, to put on something or just to play with.  Thats when a search on youtube came up with this:

Some E30 Rally Love

As you’ve probably figured out by now, I love E30s.  Honestly, who doesn’t? This video, along with about 100 pictures of different modified E30s sparked my interest in the little boxy sports car.  Since then I’ve met numerous people who are themselves owners of one or multiple E30s, all as, or more, in love with the model as I am.  This video is a PRIME example of the extreme level of performance one can achieve in a dirty30.  This is a clip from the Manx Rally in 1988 on the Isle of Man, Patrick Snijers eats up the competition and the twisty tarmac stage in his Prodrive E30 M3. Enjoy!

For more on E30s, check out our archives for a story written about my summer DD.  http://www.motorobsessed.com/?p=99

Love some old school JDM – Hakosuka

Absolutely love the look of a lot of the older JDM cars.  I am a big fan of the rear view mirrors on the fenders, such a classic look.  One day I will own one of these or a RX-2!

Caterham R500 Vs. Ducati (Autocar.co.uk)

This video always gets me goin. My love for all that is 7 gets renewed every time I watch this video.  The Alpine circuit is awesome and the footage is raw and dirty! No distracting music or editing, you can really tell these guys are pushing their vehicles hard and having a great time doing so. Thanks Autocar.co.uk! Enjoy!

Something a little different… Yet very awesome!

This is just awesome.  Something about fighter jets that just memorizes me.   P.S.  The GoPro is the best thing ever!  So many great videos are created using it.  I should probably get my hands on one sometime soon!

Just a little something, it doesn’t have a motor in the video but the soundtrack of the F-18 video reminded me of this amazing video…

The new BMW M5 looks excellent, and sounds amazing.  It is also the highest horsepower M5 to date, as well as the first M5 to be turbocharged.  Here is how BMW M show their Christmas cheer:
