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.

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?

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.

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