This one is completely bonkers.

Turbine 928 on eBay.

I love this part: “Runs on old drain oil”.

Only in America, saying that we have a bloke in Dorset :lol:

I love the reply to the cylinders and water question ending in "YDMF".

Thats fantastic. What a noise when you start her up. Good job the auctions over. Could have bought that. Like having your very own Bat mobile. 8) Would be great to put that on the dyno :lol:

Not sure what to say, very different 928 to normal. Could be handy at a BBQ if you run out of charcoal?

I don't think it is as fast as the one from Dorset, the ad says it only does 125 mph :shock:

Does sound like the Bat Mobile though :D

Yes but if you read the comments it's geared for 180 but he's never done more than 125! (If I remember right.)
