Switzerland is much more than watches!

Rinspeed has always combined great design and brilliant ideas (transparent car, folding easy-park, etc...), this time setting a Guinness record for crossing the Channel with an amphibious car called project "Splash",,,, 193 minutes and 47 seconds,,







RESPECT!!!!

But I agree that would be worth a try, and for sure it would make us understand what those guys then had in their guts!

... you got it almost right ;o)

the 'splash' did not break the record for channel-crossing by an amphibious car (that one stands at about 45 minutes or so) ... i mean, puhleese, i could swim the channel in the 3 hours the rinspeed took :o)

however, the splash was poised to break the record but got hit so hard by a wave a few minutes into the trip that there was some sort of mechanical failure and the poor thing basically limped to the finish line, hence the weak performance. the reason why it still set a record as because it is the first amphibious car that works on the wing-principle. probably there will be another serious attempt to beat the overall record sometime soon.

I see... We are back on the Star Ferry > Personally I have >

One of those to get me across in my fancy days... :-)
and this far, everywhere I wanted to go it went, and, it even pulls a couple of guys on their wakebaords.
Anyway it works just fine and it's perfect for now....

Hey Nico, you remember that ... Nardinamouk :-)

OOOOOH YES! I remember very well! )))
