For ten to sixteen grand, muggins here would probably buy one actually :)

However, looking around the site it doesn't look like his project is proceeding that quickly - he talks about shipping "from 2003", but it still looks a long way off.  Good luck to the guy.

That is really quite cool, can't think of any real practical use for it though, which makes me want it even more!!
If only I had mud Terrains........

Well, I fancy getting a boat again, but given that I live in Surrey, it's a bit pointless.

But if I had a car I could use as a boat when I wanted, that would be fine and dandy.  And I can't afford a Gibbs Aquada, but might consider spending ten grand on something along the same lines if it was any good as a car as well.

So I can see the target market...

I reckon it would make a fun racing series too...  and a good way to get some publicity :-)
