It says you can drive it into the ocean (which technically, of course, you 
could) but I'm not sure I'd want to immerse my car in salt water.  Wonder 
what that would do to the drive train (and everything else)?

You're in the UK... any chance of test driving one of these babies and 
reporting back? :)

One unusual thing about it - if you look closely at the pictures, the 
driver is directly in the center.  Not sure if that's just how they wanted 
to photograph it, or if that's where he's really situated.  I suppose that 
is, not sure if they'd make it left or right-sided for production, or leave 
it as the center.
