Peppermint_M Posted April 16, 2011 The Goodbury Turbine is a marvel of modern technology, capable of powering over any terrain due to it’s amazing and unusual method of propulsion. Instead of the normal method motive power directed at the wheel axels this vehicle is pulled across any ground by an airplane turbine. With the engine concentrating on soaring through the sky, rocks and rough ground mean nothing to it’s incredible drive power. Ms Scarlet Goodbury, inventor and owner of this magnificent mobile uses it in her other hobby of treasure hunting. Speeding through desert to possible locations with her associate Doctor Carmichael, their car makes an impressive sight.

Tazmaniac Posted April 17, 2011 Thanks for the link PM I'd ever seen those before, very informative Very cool build , and a great take on an original idea. Keep 'em coming! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XimenaPaulina Posted April 17, 2011 Thanks for the link PM I'd ever seen those before, very informative Same here, this is the first time I've known about this and I though the idea was born out of your own imagination Pep. But this is indeed a pretty neat version of those unique and radical propeller-cars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peppermint_M Posted April 17, 2011 Well, now you know some of the stuff I feed my brain. That sort of thing is what I read and enjoy, so I get a lot of ideas that I then adapt with other influences and such. Glad you like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legostein Posted April 17, 2011 Hello! A very interesting concept. Very streamlined. The huge turbine has a big air gulp for the engine. But where is the exhaust? As the passengers sit at the engine's rear, I would have guessed somewhere on the side. Cheers, ~ Christopher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Decale Posted April 18, 2011 This is old-school and modern at the same time! I like the use of the exo-force sticker. It's a very good model, as well as the other one you put on flickr. Good job Peppermint_M! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peppermint_M Posted April 18, 2011 Heh, thanks. I just had to build one so much that I selected the parts and started without even really realising that I was building one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
