Now let me start by making the following statement: "amphibious vehicles are cool" especially the Alvis Stalwart ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mr_pCrhTkk )

...or at least the notion of them is. There's something that attracts me to them, maybe it's a subconscious link to growing up with Transformers toys, or the blend of two of my biggest interests. But they always seem to fall a bit short and end up as somewhat of a compromise in one way or another; more boat than car, more car than boat, not enough of either. You have to admire the effort and engineering of Marc Witt's latest creation, but I can't help but think he's missed a few ingredients out, like some styling, or even a space for someone to share the exhilaration with! None the less, enjoy:

That Sea Lion is brilliant, like a Transformer.

I would like to see it's top speed runs on water though.
