As I was standing in line at the supermarket (stocking up on beer for the weekend) I read in one of the tabloids that a guy was building a cruise missile from parts he bought from eBay.

Don't tell the government, but I've always wanted my own F-15.  They would probably never find out but I think the condominium association would frown on me building one in my back yard.

Yeah, it was the New Zealand loony building his own cruise missile. Amazing really!
Now do they have any spare Merlin engines these nice people? Mind you bolting a jet engine in the Escort could be quite a gas, I'd love to see the police catch me ;D

Ozzy ;D

Someone in england had one of those jet engines mounted on the back of his bicycle... he got to a top speed of 70Kmh

Those small jet engines have quite a lot of power. Somewhere in england is a group of hobbyists who have made a to-scale vulcan with 4 real jet engines, good for some 300+Kmh
