Re: Amphicar "Maiden Voyage" (Vids)

nice...some guy not far from here has one. Its white with red trim. Both look sweet.

I've actually seen some guy convert his convertible 4rth gen Camaro to something similar on the discovery channel. It would do something like 60 knots at sea. The wheels actually folded up to reduce drag while in the water.

Did he test it before the maiden voyage to make sure it wouldn't sink??

Yeah. He leak checked it at the dock. Found a few small leaks where cables pass through. Took it out, brought it home, made some tweaks, sealed the holes, then got brave and head out in the water as you can see... :)
