There was a thing on Discovery recently about the Mk II. Its seriously bok. Never seen the Mk III however. Sure beats being stuck in traffic....

I saw a picture of something similar once although I'm sure it never existed. The drawing showed something similar but picture this - not only can it fly, be driven down the freeway (wings retracted) sail like a boat, and submerge like a submarine.

Hi, Zero,
I've always thought these things were nifty. I thought there was a real one that would at least fly, float, and drive -- like an amphibious aerocar. I guess it's just wishful thinking or a phantom memory from decades ago. But it would be so cool. You could just drive down a boat ramp, splash out into the water and buzz off

.

Hi, Mark,
I think I like the looks of the Mk II better, but it would be hard to be inconspicuous in it on the highway Grin

. I can't find "bok" in my slang dictionaries (except South African slang for "girl"), but I think I know about what you mean. I live in a real backwater and the biologists I work with are real duds when it comes to language or anything intellectual Embarrassed

. New words are slow to work their way down here.

Cheers,
Doug
