:? Interesting, but did you notice the center steering wheel? kind of awkward for land driving and in the Gibbs website it looks like it holds only 2 so that first one may only be an artist rendering?

Here is the Humdinga page on the Gibbs website, including videos. Confusion over the Gibbs amphibians can be caused because they make three different-sized models - but I think the two-seater graphic is just an artistic rendering.

Of course the central steering position means they don't have to make left- and right-hand drive versions - being made in Britain, they would need to make both to please all customers.

Incidentally, driving on one particular side of a vehicle is only habit, not necessity - there is no problem at all to drive on the 'wrong' side of a vehicle, even Americans can do it (though I admit you can see some very worried drivers just outside the rental car depots at London Heathrow airport....).

Hey... That's just what my buddy needs! He backed his boat & trailer down the ramp, got out to launch the boat, and didn't set the emergency brake good... Stood there dumbfounded as the whole rig slowly rolled into the lake. :cry: :lol:

That's even uglier than the Corvette ski boat.

I'll admit, I kinda like the Corvette ski boat too. They did keep to the theme since the trailer has Vette wheels, and the boat has a Vette motor and steering wheel. Not too crazy about the rear fascia but I guess they have to make it distinguishable for the other models.
