How fast does it go on land?

Doc Brown

Land? Where we're going we don't need land.
damn

Hopefully fast enough to make it to the junkyard

i was hoping it'd at least show it doing 60 in the water as well.

Sean

"We would appreciate its return, 007! Intact, for once, when you return from the field."

"You'd be surprised at the amount of wear and tear that goes on out there in the field."

007 couldn't use this… No room to have sex with thousands of women.

_Moose_

Yeah, but does it have 007's Lotus Esprit's anti-theft system? Boom.

_Moose_

What?

You guys haven't seen For Your Eyes Only!

One of the funniest of Bond scenes [The Lotus has a sticker stating that it has the ultimate anti-theft protection, and yet the dude goes at it with a crow-bar. Then... BOOOM... the car blows up! Hilarious.]

Separately, I hear that in Joburg, South Africa, some cars now have real flame-thrower anti-carjack systems. You try to jack, you get FIRE. Try rolling up in the Mc Donalds drive through there.

Did you see that Camaro from a few years ago? Did the exact same thing, but still looked like a Camaro!

Len

It performs horribly as a boat.
Randyb

Am I the only one who thinks this looks like the batmobile?

Am I the only one who thinks Randyb doesn't know what the batmobile looks like?
RickyReeed

Interesting choice of background. I'm sure Mozart would be proud?

Music….I meant background music

Sorry

Too late, whore.

Hugh

That's not very nice. Try keeping calm and chiving on.

lovetheredheads

I see two things… It has two bicycles, but only seats one person?!

And there's no cup holders.
Aldo

shut up and take all my money

I was hoping for a missile launcher and not storage for bicycles when that compartment opened in the video.
ROSHOrosho

Yes, but will it blend?
PrimerGray

You won't be picking up any chicks at the marina with that thing.

FLA

Bigfoot

i like turtles
Underbaker

I will stick with Bond's Aston Martin, it can go submersible and has a few other tricks up its sleeve too.
