Neet car.

Although the article is really innacurate. Maybe if the reporter did some research, he would have discovered that the Lotus in the Bond flick, was not an animation. It was an actual submersible, and was not pressurised. There was a diver inside the car steering the control surfaces (hense the bubbles coming out of the roof)

I just can't stand IDIOT reporters that are too lazy to do a little research. Friggin amateurs, they should be flipping burgers at McDummies! These kind of people give the industry a bad name! :mad:

It took me the better part of 4 seconds to google this!
It took that IDIOT reporter / copyrighter longer to write his BS!

RANT RANT RANT RANT!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Andy,

No decaf for me, thanks.:yawinkle:

I have been in the media industry for the last 14 years. Bad reporting pushes that little "Rant" button on the back of my neck.

I really have a problem with LAZY reporting. I have been fighting with this issue since 94! Research... a little research... is that too much to ask:smt102

Now pass the double shot super mocha espresso with whip cream :smt081

At least nobody mentioned the divers' oxygen tanks.

Someone needs to tell Larry Green. He drove his land/water car to our first CDF social, right up the run to Little Devil's.

If you want to see the actual video that Rinspeed shot while they were here, check out www.rinspeed.com The dive shop I hang out at supplied the car with the air they needed. It is a pretty neat video.

If you have not and get by Birds ask to see the photo of the truck that went into the boat ramp right across from his shop a few days ago. Bird is a good story teller and the photo comes with a good story.
