Ever looked at a sidecar and thought about sticking an engine in one?

Ala mini 3 wheeler style.

ive though about mounting a 2nd side car on the other side and fitting jet engines does that count?

Jet engines might be a step too far,  but I think I could make a three wheeler work.


And then maybe fit a jet engine.

Google the story about the Darwin Award guy that fitted a JATO to a car in the US.
It's an urban myth but sounds about right....

I've heard about that guy, to be fair its obviously an urban myth, but its also a good story to tell either way.

having worked with ram jets and similar in the past, id say that while its a great gimmick, the actual benefit would be negligible but well worth a giggle.
