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.

Wow, I had no idea. Thanks for that.
It's funny, because though I cut the cable years ago and have had Netflix ever since, I'm starting to find I'm surfing through it aimlessly the way I used to cable. Now I watch YouTube videos more and more. Guess it translates into revenue for them.

Me too, haven't had cable in years or personally owned a TV in years (mother just loves the new wife so bought her a 40 inch TV for Xmas, even with a dozen OTA channels here the wife maybe watches 2 hours a week as the rest of the time she's on the net) and like you I've been spending more and more time on YouTube.
I find YouTube not only more entertaining but (at least for me) educational as well, I've picked up a ton of new bass riffs by watching tutorials for music styles I don't normally play like jazz and since I started playing War Thunder (If you like WWII or multiplayer games you should try it, nothing like the yucks had slaughtering Panzers in a big lumbering derpy multiturret T-35 or LMAO when some BF109 thinks he has an easy kill on my Ozzie Wirraway flying treetop only to have him blown out the sky when I drop a bomb with a 2 second delay, tee hee hee!) I've started watching videos by guys that are really good at the game and its seriously upped my fun by showing me funny "thinking out the box" tricks like the bomb trick or how to flip on the landing flaps to do the Top Gun "Throw on the brakes and he'll fly right by" move, its just sooooo satisfying!
So now I honestly couldn't even tell you what is on TV on any given day anymore, that format just holds no appeal to me. BTW we are far from the only ones as I do a lot of house calls for kids at the local college dorms and I have yet to see actual OTA or cable programming on their TV sets, all of them are being used as monitors.
