No...I have a "high roof" van which has a parcel shelf above the cab.... so not really useful....and I only use the van for trips to the local tip and transporting my jet powered R/C dragster and jet Go-Kart around the countryside...I don't think they would appreciate a sunroof much.

I have lots of photos....but here's a video of it doing a static engine run at a local car show several years ago.

Home made jet engine....Turn up the volume..!!

Has been clocked at 264kmh on an aircraft runway many years ago, does mid-high 10's over the 1/4 mile...I don't think it will go much faster though...she ain't real slippery aerodynamics wise.

Turbo is a Garrett GT6041 I have converted into a turbo-jet....turbo is used on those big yellow CAT mining trucks....they're good for 2000hp or so...my "calculations" say the kart has just shy of 400hp....depending on the temperature and altitude. It weighs ~165kg and has ~212kg of thrust at full noise....so she'll go vertical..! :mrgreen:
