This is somewhere for everyone to put things they find that are interesting or weird.

A possibly genuinely water powered car! Maybe :?:

Any chance of a link?

unfortunatly I'm on my Wii, so I can't give a link. However, it was in the Daily Mirror, so there will probably be an article about it on their website.

All I can say is, in a crash....Metal car vs Fabric/Fibre...it'll be an easy fight

I saw that in the paper as well. (I believe it was the Daily Mirror), looked proper weird. The fabric crinkles up like skin when you open the door.

Yeah, twas the Mirror.

I doubt it will be allowed for retail, as it would fail every crash test.
An interesting idea though, I like how it 'Transforms' though.

Interesting and weird double points, but what I can't fathom is judging by the size of 50+ american women how the whole thing didn't explode :scratch:
