Phil Perry Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 FLying car.. Is the Tereafuga certified (not as insane), yet... And I think there is a gyrocopter version of the flying car already on sale... I saw a video of a flying car some months ago, can't remember what it was called though. If these things ever become a widely available reality; I'll bet that the accident investigators in various countries will have their hands a bit on the full side,. . .unless they are all automated . . I mean, WE nerdy, well experienced Pilots have enough difficulty staying out of trouble don't we . . ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadpete Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Phil, re: Visions of the Future, Been done before. I'm sure you've heard of a bloke called Jules Verne. He wrote a couple of SF yarns back in the 1800's. But I bet you haven't read his very short story "In the Year 2889" ? A short story written in 1885 (but not printed until 1889), simply describing a day in the life of a businessman, one thousand years in the future. Get it from Gutenberg Project. He Foresees supersonic intercontinental travel, Skype, internet, etc, so he was a bit out with his timing - we got there a lot quicker than he thought. Maybe he set his time machine to the wrong year ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomadpete Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 After studying the picture, I would have thought the opposite. Classic case that proves that some people don't get to breed without the aid of beer goggles. Or the drinkers lament; "I've been to bed with a lot of beautiful women, but haven't woken up next to one yet" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
