Floating full sized cars as well.

As if the full sized radio controlled cars were not enough then next in the studio of 'Top Gear' was a full sized car floating around,with tiny motors strapped to the helium filled car it floated round gracefully,and then came in for a smooth landing,a very clever piece of modelling made from a rubberised silver material.

*** That figures Adz,to look at you would think it was a real car,what a novel advertising piece,remember when they first built the dome in London the idea was to have things like this floating around inside for the opening ceremony ?,one model was a full sized flying saucer.
