So you fire it up and then what?

Get sucked into the turbine as it's sat behind you?

Fuck that idea right off.

To be honest I would be even more amused to see the MOT testers face when he looks in the back to test it,

That and can you imaging the state of the car behind it when it fires up lol, Will be like watching that episode of Top Gear with the plane and the mondeo lol

I doubt you could fire it up on the road, private land or a controlled event maybe.
Just see it now sat in traffic stripping the car behind haha
It would also need air intake, don't think that would be a good idea inside a car with keys, wrappers, kids etc being sucked in.

It could be done just needs the right person with a warped mind

That's what I thought, even if you bolted into a proper seat with a full harness the air required to run this thing wouldn't leave you any to actually beable to breath lol

I'd imagine the pressure would leave you deaf after your ear drums are sucked out.

Wonder if he has thought about that bit of will just wind the windows down?

I assume people don't plan these things? They just come into possession of a jet engine and think "I know what would go well with one of these in the back.."

Incredible, kudos to whoever pilots it
