    Mechanical ingenuity is amazing.
    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.

    I was glued to the entire video. What happened? Why is this not in use today?

    I've seen this before, on another board. Enjoyed it both times (the other version was shorter). The music was good too! Before Layla there was Lila!

    There's a pressing need for this type of conveyance here in San Diego.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    It would work great on the beach!

    Great idea. I wonder why some of the best ideas never get put into production? I looked around and they were being made into the 60s, but there's not much after that.

    I could sure use one of those here in the winter. One of my neighbors has had to come pull my tractor out of the snow a couple of times with his 4wd version.

    I was looking at that thing and it occured to me that with the right balancing in place, it could easily be amphibious. Those kinds of screws can really move in water, no?

    They sure can, but you nailed it with the balance thing.
