Turbine powered spitfire (not mine)
I found this wildly impractical and totally delighful build log today. A student team is installing a helicopter engine into a Spitfire.

Fantastic. A while ago I saw, ummm, was it a Porker, with a helicopter engine. It drove, it was in use. All quite bonkers.

Re: Turbine powered spitfire (not mine)
Is nothing sacred ?? Did they even consider what will happen to the "Resale Value". Is "this thing" ok, just because Rover experimented with turbines ?? Will it became a "Porker" ? How do I get to drive it ? Is it for Leno ?? Redline is ? Also, thank you for this "up-lifting" story. roverman.
