Who wants a flying car?

[Spacecadet]

Ebay - flying car auction


Typical yank question:
Hi, would it be possible on this caft to mount and use small firearms?

[kramer]

the bad news is you can't actually sit in it and take off

They sell them on 'firebox' the big boys toys gadget site, there's some quite funny customer comments about the £324,000 flying car, one customer wrote:

Have you noticed how firebox will not let you pre-order more than one at a time. Where it said 'quantity' I put '3' and it just ignored me - unbelievable.

The "customer" comments on firebox are hilarious.

I first came across this a few years ago when I was dreaming about ways to fly to work.

Even if it works as intended, surely as a design it must be crap if needs eight separate engines to transport four people? The only advantage I can see this having over a helicopter is that it's harder to clip someone with a blade. Surely there must be a more elegant solution to that problem?

My anti-gravity engine is faster, small and very ecological: I use it to levitate my lardy body in the office.
