Neat solution. A bit environmentally unfriendly. And the flames might cause some problems for following cars.

Way too big for a cruise missile engine! Try this for size

Thats quite cleverly done, the very careful unobtrusive supports into the roof, vs the very obvious careless looking (but fake) ropes.

I didn't think it was a cruise missile engine. They are quite slim missiles.

cruise missile is a generic term in this case rather than the specific Tomahawk which we all love or hate from Iraq War One - the US were developing various types from the end of WW2 and were powered by various jet and rocket engines.

The ropes look genuine to me, but useless.
