The Worlds First Flying Car!

I thought Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was the first flying car!

But wasn't Chitty Chitty Bang Bang fictional?

You can see it every day in London

Bullshit?

Isn't a flying car just a helicopter?

Mmm, if I put wheels on a helocopter does it make the first driving helicopter?

Anyway, bung me down for a quid.

Yerse. Let's see, a revolutionary new power source that allows a car to fly without an engine? Me thinks this would fall foul of the national security checks and would stand no hope of getting a patent! Also according to the post it is not a pending patent but he has already got one ("the patented invention..") , so what's the number?

Oops, assumption alert. My apologies, it could be a her.

A short film about the flying car can be found here.

Its about 6 megs so probably only suitable for people with broadband connections.

As you say he should have said that it was being kept private for national security, but that people "in the know" can still invest in the company. This way it's a bit dodgy which would explain the profit ratio and stops some people from complaining about the scam, and also he can't release any details about it.

I dunno. There are some complete idiots on the road right now. Who's going to let them fly around above us where they can drop beer cans on our heads or drop the entire car on us because they're busy fiddling with their mobile phones? That's leaving aside the issue of a bunch of religious nutcases filling a flying car up with fertiliser and petrol and flying it into a nuclear power station.

Somehow I think even if the "revolutionary new power source" is true, this one ain't gonna fly.

A British inventor has invented the worlds first flying car using a new revolutionary new power source. Incredible but true.

I picked this up from another newsgroup and wandered what the UK Legal has to say about 'Fly Speeding', Drunk in charge of a Flying Car, Speeding Points (Bearing in mind we will have to have flying cameras), Death by dangerous flying, flying while disqualified, fly tipping, the list is endless.

Then you go onto terrorism, imagine suicide flying car bombs - no building would be safe.

How would the Police pull you over, if asked to step out of the car you will surely fall to your death!!

I could go on and on!

Trolling bullshit.

Yes, trolls always find that.

Sinclair invented a mains-powered car years ago.

However there was just one insurmoutable problem Sinclair couldn't solve...

I I I I I I I I I I V

Where to put 100miles of mains-cable....

If you are clever enough to read properly the message said I picked it up from another newsgroup, I didnt make the suggestion only the comments.

Anyway I would sooner be a troll than a tosser who cant read properly

Try to be more original in future, Troll.

Zero points for copying your troll from elsewhere.

IIRC it's 250 knots max below 10000ft then less than mach 1 over inhabited areas

I believe the ANO simply says something like 'no person shall be in command of a British registered aircraft whilst under the influence of drink or drugs' . I don't think it specifies a limit.

No, but draconian penalties for relatively trivial offences.

Radar can track your ground speed

More draconian measures

You need the written permission of the CAA to drop things out of aircraft

There are published procedures (wing waggling, light flashing etc) for interception.

I assume you'd be allowed to stop first.

Please don't :)

Just a word of warning to anyone using the new flying car. Keep your eyes peeled as these days, the (also newly invented) hover-Gatso cameras are everywhere... especially watch the ones cunningly hidden behind the clouds.

At the risk of causing a row Paul C was following a thread which is how the usenet was designed. Assuming that no one would be crass enough to cross post and therefore show themselves up as newbies Paul C was merely following up the sarcastic responses to a obvious Scam OP.

Welcome to the weird and wacky fantasy world of David Husband/berk ...

Don't worry, Paul. Husberk is the biggest cowardly tosser on Usenet. You'll survive. We have to learn to do that with Husberk about. He's on one of his manic phases again, by the looks of it.
