I want one. I don't know how I would pay for it or what I would do with it other than kill myself but I want one.

It's a turbine engine, not a diesel. |

From their info:
"Turbines are very fuel tolerant. They prefer diesel, kerosene and jet fuels, but will run on any combustible gas or liquid"
Wow - I never realized these things had such a power/weight ratio - hmmm, how to fit one in the Disco without burning down the forest around me - maybe I could just move out west - rocks don't burn

It might run diesel fuel, but it's definitely not a diesel engine. "Powered by a Rolls Royce Allison gas turbine engine running on diesel fuel" |
