914World.com _ 914World Garage _ NPC: Water skiing, anyone?

Posted by: Charles Deutsch Sep 4 2003, 12:08 PM

"A high-speed land and water vehicle drives on the River Thames Wednesday, Sept. 3, 2003. The Aquada is designed to reach speeds of 100mph on land and over 30mph on water and can switch between the two surfaces at the switch of a button. Gibbs Technologies, who designed it, says that no other road-legal amphibian has managed to exceed 6mph on water."

When they make them into something actually usefull, like being able to tow a skier, I'll buy one!

I think the blurb on it says it can tow skiers... 30mph isn't bad...

Ahh, 3 front seats.. reminds me of the review about the Matra Simca Bagheera..

"And what more could a young man ask? Given the chance to give his girl's girlfriend a lift, he can do so with consummate style. He can even sit in the middle and be attentive to both ladies. No reason for anyone to feel jealous or slighted then."

30 won't get it for water skiing. i saw the cnn thing. the wake looked like it sucked. put a tower and the wakeboarders might like it.

i live to ski. it is my only talent,but i am not that good at it.
