While this may seem fairly obvious initially, there is a twist to it.

Again I want the exact answer.

Yes correct but that is not the answer :)

(Laughing here, told you there was a twist to this one)

Yes this is correct.
But what is it part of?

Clue: To my knowledge there is not one of these in New Zealand.
To buy overseas you are looking at $80,000 nz$

Part of a proposed "car" converting to road and water using the hovercraft principle.

You are going down the correct path Toko.

You know it is a hovercraft but what sort. What is it used for.
We also know only the rich and famous could afford it :)

Valerie and Babs follow Toko's lead.....

A James Bond hovercraft

A Top Gear hovercraft

One that very rich mice use going to the moon and back to get cheese when their space shuttle has broken down

A hovercraft used by the Royal family taking Queenie for an outing

Keep them coming, you are doing well.

Wolfie no not a racing hovercraft but would fall under "Sport".

Ok
I see hovercraft as a theme
I see sport as a clue
I see a whole lot of grass in the picture

So I'm going with a 4wd hovercraft used for land racing, or
a hover mower. A bit like a flymo, but much more heavy duty, and ride on of course

that's gotta be close!

Title: Re: What is it - Object 137?
Post by: JennyLeez on June 23, 2016, 08:50:22 PM

Yep you have all the clues..........
They are yelling at you :)

Not used for racing.
Not a ride on lawn mower.

An amphibious Monsta Truck / hovercraft thing?

I've tried most of the other options except Babs, so if it's not that it has to be a hovercraft used by the rats and mice resident at Buckingham palace to keep their feetsy weetsies dry while crossing a lake.

Oh and I would have to have alot of money to spend it on something like that!

Title: Re: What is it - Object 137?
Post by: Babs on June 23, 2016, 11:36:15 PM

Its a hover Polo craft that the rich dudes use when they are bored to play some odd games,  mostly Arabian princes...

Or a conveyance for squirrels to collect their nuts in (well it's late at night Him Indoors and the cat  are asleep and I am having one of my bad Parkinsons  nights so what do you expect from the cocktail of pills I have taken)

It's what the Swans travel in to see the Queen

Or its used by the very rich for herding up the poor to wash their expensive cars

Couldn't I get half a point for all the wonderful but crazy suggestions?

Post by: Babs on June 23, 2016, 11:46:44 PM

Ah or could it be a golf buggy now that would be cool and very expensive

Title: Re: What is it - Object 137?
Post by: Babs on June 23, 2016, 11:50:23 PM

Oh a very fast way of getting from one green to another.

Now I am going to try and sleep,  nite all..

Post by: gabba on June 24, 2016, 03:53:07 PM

Might be rich, but that person can't play golf. They obviously use the water hazard alot of they need a hovercraft to negotiate it LOL

Title: Re: What is it - Object 137?
Post by: Babs on June 24, 2016, 05:33:25 PM

Maybe they use them to escape from alligators at the water hazards!
