Hey! Did you see the Dutton Mariner on "The Learning Channel" tonight, a show about extreme machines? It is the only 'successful' amphibious car and it is built by Tim Dutton in England. He has driven it across the English Channel and he sells it to people who live on islands!! It can go 90 mph on land and 7 knots on water (which is, like fast, for a sail boat on Lake Erie!). Duttons seem to be good at engineering!!! Well, except for me. My VCR still flashes 12:00. But, I'm glad I'm a Dutton! :))) Carole
