well its a bit of a breakthough, ugly as sin though but what the hell you cannot have verything at once I guess hahaha.

 

I wonder how it will be recieved, will you still need to drive to the strip to launch it or can you simply find a nice straight stretch of road and blast off?

 

 

[Guest ozzie]

great way to get away from the highway patrol ha ha, rego time will be a killer everyone will want a piece of your wallet ,wah wah

 

 

[Guest watto]

Yeh just spot that blue flashing light and drop the wings and off!! haha

 

Your right though, two lots of rego I suppose and insurance as well will need to be tailored.

 

 

[Guest watto]

Well sir we are trying to work out what category this will fit into on your policy, were the wheels on the ground at the time you impacted the other vehicle?

 

hehe

Great in bad traffic if you can get into a wide emergency lane, or grass next to the road......

Going by the number of follow-up posts, I'm not the only one who didn't read/see the news yesterday. My excuse was I was visiting my wife in hospital who has just had new boobs constructed, successfully, after a bout of breast cancer. Happy to say, she's now back home with me and the 'twins' are doing fine ;)
