Richard Branson hopped into a Gibbs Aquada and zipped across the
channel in it to set the fastest channel crossing time in an
amphibious vehicle. Nice if you can get it!
There's an entire website devoted to amphibious vehicles, from
amphicars to a barge with 8 foot tall wheels and a driver and engine
for each wheel, I can't find the URL right now but it's a great site.
Something about amphibious vehicles just gets to me.
There was even a Lamborghini Countach copy that was amphibious, it
really looked the part. The Gibbs looks like a Mazda MX5 or Lotus
Elan which is OK, but it certainly doesn't look like an amphibious car
apart from directly head-on where the prow and planing lines give it
away.
