If you want to stand out at the next poker run...
 

...just show up in this! - some people have way more money than sense...

wow!!! thats cool! And 70mph on land!

The Dobberlin surface orbiter! I remember when he created that thing. It was back in the 80's and he converted it from a milk tanker. He did the work in his back yard and the goal was to travel around the world. Rick Dobberlin might sound familiar. He built the J2000 pro street car. It was the car that really started the prostreet craze. Front driver converted to rear drive, with a tilt up steel body, tube chassis, twin turbo, twin supercharged big block with nitrous!

It caught my eye because I remembered reading about it in (I think) Car and Driver, way back when. Amazing that it's still around...

I've seen it in person its up in the Alex bay/ 1000 islands area

Maybe someone could turn it into a shuttle bus/ water taxi combo thing... give tours of the islands or something.

What's the draft on that thing, about 6' :eek:

Could you imagine.....
 

......whistling down the launch ramp at about 40 mph, and then SPLASH!

:eek:

Hee, hee, hee.....

Well, I've the no sense thing covered, now I need a bunch of money.:D :D

You and me both, Cignificant!

That thing was at Fort Apache when I worked there in the winter of '94---quite an attention getter!

At the time, he was planning on circumnavigating, but I don't think that ever got accomplished. I could be wrong. Pretty awesome ALL terrain vehicle!:)
