>The post about the amphi car reminded me of my only experience with the
vehicle. Over 30 years ago I went to my senior class picnic at the Frank
Davis resort in Moodus, Connecticut. (for the benefit of our older CT
listers, who may remember). They were giving rides on the river or lake in
the resort's amphi car. I have always been around boats so I just had to
go
for a spin. While a very novel idea, it is really designed for fording
small
bodis of water. It is definitely not a rough water boat, as it is very
unstable and has limited manuverability. But at 18 years old it was still
a
lot of fun!

What I had always heard about the Amphicar is that it was a lousy boat,
too. I guess that was right. ;-)
Still a fun concept.
