If that was light enough it would probably be amphibious.

I've seen that one before, but yeah, it is brilliant, basically two "screw" pontoons, cutting a thread in the snow to pull the vehicle along. I've seen a similar set up on "Junkyard Wars" Don, where they built an amphibious vehicle with the same technology, just bigger "screw" pontoons. It'd be a lot slower than a tracked snowmobile, but for big loads, it'd be excellent! Cheers, Terry. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Never mind, I found it.

It's a concept machine called the Hyanide which was created by German designers Oliver Keller and Tillman Schlootz for the 2006 Michelin Challenge Design. It exists only as a model. But what a model! Thanks
