In the current climate of nowt but grim and bad news all day long, isn't this just the thing to keep us all happy like. Luvlee 'Boy's Own' adventure stuff. cloud9:

Flying car? it's just a souped-up paraglider.

These are more like it. And I know it's only a film but one can dream.

Not at all ~ I wish them every success (Though being followed by a large "back-up" team all the way does rather take the spirit of adventure out of it for me)

Well I wish I was with them to follow his progress.
What a damned good hoot this is. Just what we want imo. Should make headline news.

Apparently there is another one in production, the Terrafujiya. Unfortunately the website is being updated at the moment so I can't really say much more about it.
