Automobile mechanic and inventor Xiong Jian astonished fellow residents in his home town of Taojing in Central China after he successfully transformed an old, beat up auto into a 'boat-car' fit for a spy thriller. He took his James Bond-style amphibious vehicle for a ride in the waters of the Zhenzi River. The river floods every year in monsoon season, so he decided to use his hobby to make a practical vehicle that can be used as a boat during floods. Xiong created the multipurpose vehicle after years of trial and error by refitting components of a scrap sedan with other parts from a scrap minibus and welding it together to make it airtight. It wasn't all smooth sailing at first, but Xiong finally managed get his Frankencar running on the streets before driving it straight into the water. Xiong has been an automechanic for over 20 years and his favorite hobby is to take apart and refit old vehicles to see if he can bring them back to life. According to Xiong, the car can reach speeds of up to 20 mph in the water while moving forward, but it can also turn around and go backwards in the water, all while carrying up to 4 passengers Xiong is currently tinkering on the boat car in his shop, hoping to reduce the noise and bring the max sailing speed up to 25 Mph. Would you sail in Xiong's boat car?
