Description:
WOULD you drive your car into the ocean? Say hello to the 'Amphicar' - an amphibious vehicle that can be driven into the body of any water. In the 1960s, West German designer Hans Trippel presented the 'Amphicar' in New York. Only 3,878 units were ever built by manufacturer Quandt Group between 1960 and 1965. But Kerry Cheese, who restores military vehicles for a living, bought one of these rare cars from Canada and spent over $40,000 to bring it back to its original state. Kerry said: “It didn’t really need too much work; it needed more mechanical work than body work.\

Charlie says hello, hello Charlie and will sing in his own way which is something he never did before. <br/><br/>“Chester will talk more readily than Charlie, when the phone rings Chester is the first to say hello. <br/><br/>“We have a lot of fun with them,they’re loveable characters.”")
