Diesel Dave writes "from the this ain't your grandma's amphi-mobile dept: Cool Amphibious Manufacturers International, LLC, is now marketing their TerraWind line of combination Motor Coach / Yachts. Thats right, a 42 foot Luxury RV you can take to, or in, the lake! With a not exactly cheap pricetag of $850K+, included is the full rigging of luxury home features: Granite countertops, marble floors, teak cabinetry, tracking satellite dish, and 42" plasma TV. Oh and don't forget the swim deck. If I can get one with an ocean rated hull, machine gun turrets, and SVO conversion, I'll have my own portable Sealand. : ) A (temporary) mirror of the site is here to lessen the / . effect."

the Shuttle Bike kit.

I have one : it's great fun for much less than $850K, and you can go on the "bridge" without opening a door and sinking the vehicle in the process.

Around the World in "Half-Safe" by Mad+Man · 2003-07-24 12:02 · Score: 4, Interesting

Some guy travelled around the world in a GPA, which is basically an amphibious World War II jeep. He named his vehicle "Half-Safe."

He wrote a book about it called "The Other Half of Half-Safe."
