I'm diigin the wiper set up, thats pretty cool. But I think he's loosing to much power through that pump, needs to get him self a penta out drive

That thing just screams brittish spy car with those retractable rocket/machine gun ports...I'm not sure why he had them filled with mountain bikes..lol

If it only holds ONE person, why does it need TWO bikes? How does he see OVER the bow plane? He looks to be sitting pretty low in the cockpit to see over it. Just a rich mans toy. I'd rather have a airplane.

[Scale-Master]

The more things it is supposed to do, the less well it can do any of them... I agree, looks best suited for a fantasy spy movie.

[Dr. Cranky]

Yeah, I don't get the bikes either. I wish this one would have been a car/submersible vehicle. I agree it is very cool. I wonder how long all that metal would last in pristine condition. I guess you have to soap and wash of the salt water.

I'm sure it will dive Dr., its the surfacing part thats tricky...

I bet the salt water corrosion/barnacle look would catch on pretty quick, "sea-steam punk" ???

Calm water, didn't go far from shore. First ship larger then a row boat would run over this thing like a beer can and not even see it. This is proof of the adage, "just because you can, doesn't mean you should"!

Indeed. The whole time I was thinking: My name is Bond, James Bond and this is my car....

How do you see in front of you ? Kind of cool though .

[LAone]

So when to the mini guns or torpedoes pop out?

Once you ditch the bikes, those side pods would work well to hide those! Should paint it green and add an Agent P vanity plate to it

Reminds me of the VW Vanagon houseboat Richard Hammond made in an old UK Top Gear episode.

[Lownslow]

haha i know those bikes its those crappy hummer folding bikes

[Funkster]

Now that is different?

[Junkman]

I'd much, and I do mean, much, prefer my father's Amphicar. And yes, he really had one back in the days.

[Danno]

That goofy car/boat is all wet. And if he tries to market such a dinghy idea, he'll be awash in a sea of debt, sink his future and eventually be all washed up.

[David G.]

It's very cool, but I'd still much rather have a 1989 Batmobile.

He might avoid an ocean of debt if he can float a loan.

Who knows, there may be a wave of buyers...

[crazyjim]

I like it!

[Greg Myers]

Gramps was lucky to come ashore in one of these

[Greg Myers]

On the other shore he'd have to ride one of these

[Foxer]

That is so low and the color of water ... maybe RED paint would let it last longer before getting sliced in half by a power boat!

Troubled waters ahead. I think his design is all wet.
