Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

One reason: packing space. That V8 blender took up quite a lot of room!

But I was actually wondering whether one can't jury-rig a 12v blender using a model aircraft motor...

Stefan, you'll obviously need this jet powered fridge to go with your blender...

What?!?!?! in that case, tie him to a chair and show him this

I love the Jet-engine powered cooler! I think I should incorporate that technology into the ZD30's turbo.

The other option that your friend has, Cedric, is to tap some power from the engine on a seperate gearbox, just like a tractor has. Otherwise I think Piet's idea of the RC aircraft engine should be his 3rd option before going for this inverter mumbo-jumbo.

..... that fridge is brilliant !!!

Yeah.... I'm not a fishing type of guy so I don't understand his mielie.... and he drives a disco 3, so should I really help him, because we normally only help them when they break down or are stuck..... or both ...

But only sometimes, otherwise we would have to help them pretty much daily...
