a tree came to my aid, as did a set of traffic lights. Now you could of course go for both in one................. Help!! If I'd come across that I would have had no chance of fnding my way back to my mates house. In fact, I'd probably still be wandering around Surrey now!! |

Austin Allegro indeed sir How dare you use such foul language on this site, and especially in the illustrious company of the Commer. Wash your mouth out with soap. My dear chap, it was merely to illustrate the sheer quality and noble breed of the Commer set against such trash as the Allegro, when someone suggests chucking one off Beachy Head to check the accuracy of the 32 feet per second per second rule. If the Taylor Aerocar could do it in 1954 (see picture below) then I am sure that strapping a couple of wings and a tail on the Commer would work to add a new dimension to the trip to Le Mans....... And a great way to avoid the rip off ferry companies!!  |

It sounds like we're heading back full circle to a jet engined Commer
Steve, now there's an idea.......mind you, the original inventor of the aerocar is now actually developing a modern version using the Lotus Elise fitted with a twin turbo V8..........further details at www.aerocar.com[attachment deleted by admin] |
