A rocket propelled maestro?

[topgear]

The other day driving along the motorway at my usual speed of 85mph in my VDP, i noticed a small red vehicle that looked like a maestro city x, of the 1988 variety with a shed load of sparks pouring from the rear. For a second or two i thought some clever possie had indeed invented a rocket propelled maestro, but alas, i was wrong. The exhaust had come adrift from its weak point at the join of the back silencer (yes, i have experienced this) and therefore a few sparks or two were being emitted!
It is a sight to be seen and laughed at!

:eek: Would a Maestro be able to withstand the forces generated by rocket propulsion???

Would be fun to have one though....
