New Yorker Rick Dobbertin built the amphibious Surface Orbiter out of a milk truck in order to cross the world via land and sea. It took him 4 years, $175,000 and 14,000 man hours to complete. The project now looks to have lapsed through lack of cash, although he is apparently busy at work on the Dobbertin ‘DHC’ Hydrocar due out this year – 125 mph on land, 60mph+ on water. Riiight.
