Check this out, a car that can do 30mph on the water ! Saw this on our nightly news last night and was very impressed. Looks good on the road with a top speed of 100 mph and you can literally drive straight down a boat ramp, engage the jet, and off you go. In a city such as Sydney this could be a fantastic alternative to the morning and afternoon peak hour taffic jams. I want one. |

Saw pictures in some newspapers today, looks like a lot of fun! I think this will give the Dutton Mariner a run for it's money! The Dutton is much cheaper but looks horrible and can only manage around 6 mph on water.

Thanks for the link BB.
I think they look great when you consider their dual role. On the brief clip they showed on the tele, it looked highly manouverable and a hell of alot of fun. |
