What is it - Object 137?
« on: June 22, 2016, 10:59:33 AM »



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 :)

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

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!
Cheers, Andrew

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!

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?
