Somebody didn't have their thinking cap on. What a waste trying to negotiate a turn
like that with a jet engine strapped on your back. Of course it would've make the turn under those conditions.

...just because you CAN put a jet engine into the back of a MINI doesn't really mean you SHOULD...

[Brains produces another concept for Thunderbird 6 that is rejected by Jeff.]

Motor on!

What could possibly go wrong.

I think he needed some vectored thrust to make the turn.

I like the guy in the orange jumpsuit trying to run over to the car. I expected him to have an MI enroute lol.
