Anyone see this thing on BBC news?

I want one, 150K is a little bit out of my league though

Flick a switch and you've got a speedboat, flick it again you've got a car.

It'd save me having to use the Forth Road Bridge anyway.

life jacket in case you fall over the side fester - not strictly in case you sink :D

I have been thrown over the side of a speedboat once before when step dad was waterskiing - i was observing to make sure he was ok and uncle driving... step dad fell in, i stood up to pull the ski line in and uncle turned round really quick and set off back towards him. I just flew straight over the side into the sea. :lol:

scared the poopoo outta me at the time though. prop wasnt far away from me.

I read about that in the daily record today, i wouldnt waste the 150k that i dont have on it. Why do they make things like that so god damn ugly?
Like all those electric cars and cars of the future, they all look like ugly things straight out of sci fi films.

if i had the sort of money to spend on a new toy worth about 150k i would have one of those amphibious cars. Lok like a big pile of fun to me.

But i've always been into power boats etc.
