I think I will go to the store quickly in my small Opel automobile to get milk and eggs. I'll be back in a flash .........

Lol, it would be ! I don't know if it had a reverse gear and how that would work. Of course, any car you parked in front of would be burnt to a crisp ... and I would not want to be a pedestrian walking anywhere near that automobile either !

@paul-rouffa Parking issues for sure Paul...but it's got a built in tray for the carhop to place your burger, fries and shake on at the drive-in....as long as she doesn't roller skate behind the car.

Lol, I wonder how you started this sleek Opel ? Perhaps someone used a match, but you better be ready for quick acceleration or an involuntary trip to orbit .... or the lunar surface !

kept forgetting to post these. This is a Hachette/Salvat et al 1/24 static model of it. As you have probably guessed its rocket powered. One of those models that really needs its engine.

Some of the comments above reminded me of how Paul Hogan used to make toast!
