An interesting concept! Lets say you were able to acquire a working prototype for your Baja trip........would you drive across the border, or fly to
an approved airstrip?dtbushpilot - 7-31-2015 at 01:03 PM
Wonder how it would do driving over topes? Udo - 7-31-2015 at 01:51 PM
Looks like the prototype used for filming was in Dubai.AKgringo - 7-31-2015 at 02:44 PM
Do you think there is an actual prototype? The entire sequence, with a possible exception of the last few seconds, looks like computer generated
footage. If you are thinking "No way!", watch Avatar again.
It looked like the company producing the video was Vietnamese. Howard - 7-31-2015 at 04:27 PM
Vietnamese? Vietnam?
I thought I saw something like that around 1967 in Quang Tri Province right after a little smoking session. OK, maybe, just maybe I was seeing things
that weren't there!
Seriously, it's just a matter of time for something like that. Next thing you know there will be wrist watches like that Dick Tracey had. Wait a
minute, Apple has one now, so you never know what is far fetched.
