I believe that somewhere in Oz is a Transit van with a Bristol Viper jet engine from a Macchi trainer plane in the back.

http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/street-legal-jet-powered-vw-beetleWhat can you do with a GE Model T58-8F helicopter turboshaft engine, converted to jet? With Ron Patrick’s custom VW Beetle you can have lots and lots of dangerous fun exploiting all 1350 horsepower. This monster is powered by two engines (original up front, jet in back) and is perfectly street legal since you’re only using the gasoline powered engine in normal driving conditions. But if you’re feeling adventurous, fire up the jet engine - which spins up to 26,000 rpm/13,000 rpm idle - and watch the afterburner come to life. More after the jump.

i was thinking along similar lines. like: you would think that the jet takes a lot of air in at the fornt, yeah? then what would happen if the had the windows up? would he create a near vacuum in the cabin? whould he get the bends if he suddenly activated it when the windows are up? would the windscreen get sucked in?sure... i hope you dont mind being deaf...
...can someone make sense of it?

this would be good to get rid of the tailgaters who enjoy sitting inches behind beetle drivers. flick a switch and turn them to a crisp.
