Yes, I saw that. Very interesting, but I love the line:
"It's a genuine amphibian which has been an international project but it's British engineering which has made it possible."
Not to make horrible fun of British cars, but after owning one first hand....
Good to hear they made a very innovative process. It might even help with the Monsoons in Arizona

Pong when you said you saw it do you mean on the TV or on the net?
I get sky news here but it requires a digital sat with a subscription, just was wondering if they also have coverage in the US.

Ken,

It was on our local TV news casts. They usually do a 30 second clsoing story that is a little light, no hard news, and they showed this Aquada. I then went onto the net and found the article.

They showed how the wheels flipped back down when the car came on land, and it was quite a sight.
