      They sell them on 'firebox' the big boys toys gadget site, there's some quite funny customer comments about the £324,000 flying car, one customer wrote:

      Have you noticed how firebox will not let you pre-order more than one at a time. Where it said 'quantity' I put '3' and it just ignored me - unbelievable.

      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        The "customer" comments on firebox are hilarious.

        I first came across this a few years ago when I was dreaming about ways to fly to work.

        Even if it works as intended, surely as a design it must be crap if needs eight separate engines to transport four people? The only advantage I can see this having over a helicopter is that it's harder to clip someone with a blade. Surely there must be a more elegant solution to that problem?

          My anti-gravity engine is faster, small and very ecological: I use it to levitate my lardy body in the office.
