I don't look in this group for a week after complimenting Joel Kuester on
his hoverbike and the whole place is fulla' them!

That's what happens when a contest is annouced.


Most cool -- being as it's late, I'm not going to post to each one, but
guys... you make me wanna toss my meager attempts in the trash and throw in
the towel.. Adrian came up with two in the time it took me to get one done
and finally photographed... bah. You guys are just too darned amazing!


Hehe, I could've come up with another one last night, but decided I'd rather
lay around and watch my Cleveland Indians beat up on the Minnesota Twins :)

Anyway... Here's my humble attempt:

The Ferrari x3-TurboFan hoverbike.  The ducted fans are mounted on flexible
"arms" that allow them to adjust for optimal performance. The arms provide
the fuel and electrical lines to each of the three engines. It comes
complete with leather seats, stereo, auto pilot, windscreen projected
Heads-Up Display - and a luggage compartment so your Gucci attache' case
doesn't get exposed to the elements.

That's pretty neat.  Nice use of those red windows as intake vents, and of
course I like the wheels as hoverjets (I used that technique on my Raptor)

No puns from me though, sorry :)
