#1 Too funny... May be we can arrange one for Arafish, although I'd rather see him outfitted for a jet-powered coffin.

#6 The brakes are when you run out of fuel. Should be pretty quick considering you can't carry alot. I also think the beer-holder is right above the left-kneecap of the rider.

#7 That is class. The wheelchair idea's good - would obviate the need for ramps outside public buildings, for instance, it the thrust was directable to enable flight - but .com's thrust throne is the bee's knees. I think that dude's dozing off. Cool.

#8 The casters for front wheels is scarry. No sterring?
Jeebus. Looks like a large turbo converted to a jet engine too. Well off to bed.

#10 Good concept, but you just know that JATO Unit is going to flame out once he runs off the cliff.

#11 I just noticed the guy in the article's from Luton, England. Not surprising. Luton's like Cuba - people'll do anything to get away from it.
