THE future is here, well sort-of.
Designers of a real-life working flying car have shown off their project to eager car enthusiasts at a New York motor show.
Titled Terrafugia Transition, the
car-plane comes complete with
foldable wings for convenient
parking even in a bustling city
such as New York, as well as four
wheels, and all important turning
indicators.
The car is priced at a modest
$270,000 and its manufacturer
has told reporters that it already
has 100 orders which it says will
be ready for delivery at the end of
the year.
SURVIVAL instinct. An aged German cat, Poldi, has survived the odds living in a forest for 16 years after having gotten himself lost. Poldi went for a gentle stroll from his owners Munich-based home in 1996, and was never seen again. His grieved owner gave him up for dead long ago, supposing some misfortune had befallen the orange tabby cat. Like another famous orange cat, Garfield, Poldi managed to land on his feet, setting himself up in a forest 32kms from where he wandered off. He was found 16 years later by a group of hikers who took pity on the affectionate tabby, and carried him to a local animal welfare shelter where a tattoo on his ear enabled him to be traced back to his overjoyed owner.
