Spotted at Laughing Squid is an link to the Jet Powered Go-Kart developed by Colin Furze.

From the linked YouTube video summary:

So it's finished and it's brilliant, it's stable it starts easy and the fuel system after a slight redesign (see website) works perfectly. Top speed so far is 60mph but i run out of airstrip so might be more in it.

More details are available at Colin's project site. Colin is also known for previously developing this Jet powered bicycle.

    Furze does a ton of crazy shit like this.
    It's pretty cool, even if all of his designs are completely impractical and dangerous. This is real mad science, right here.

    This is the same guy who built a jet bike with the crappiest bike frame he could and got it up to 50mph.
