Let us not forget the Wallowing Windbag from Inca Gold. I don't believe I can find a pic.

There is also the 1936 Pierce-Arrow and Travelodge Trailer from Inca Gold. Can you think of a more amazing way to travel across country. You can see it at:

Pierce Arrow

then follow the "Clives biler" for a list of automobiles.

As most people willcome up with the obvious, I've looked closely at Cyclops, although not used personally by the main caracters does Columbus the space station and Gettysburg the space shuttle count page 334 in my copy?

The SPUT ( The special-perpose underwater transporter loked nothing like any submarine Pitt had ever seen. The craft was slightly over three hundred foot long and shaped like a chisel turned sideways) Cyclops p 338

Water Dashers, small water propulsion vehicle made in France, looks like two torpedos side by side. Also page 338 Cyclops

Also I seem to remeber a story of an old Galleon being washed in to the jungle 20 miles or so on a tidal wave / tsunami what was its name Pitt found it by being dropped into the jungle by a helicopter flown by Al.

427 ci AC Ford Cobra (drool), Pacific Vortex & Night Probe. To quote Zerri Pochinsky (cracking name by the way) Sandecker's secretary in Night Probe, "....fun, fun but what awful gas mileage!"

I think my all time favorite is the Skycar. If I had a spare $995,000.00 lying
around, I'd order one today. However, I used to work on DC-6s and the C-54
in Pacific Vortex that Pitt crashed into the sea is the military version of a DC-4.

We can`t forget the Antarctic Snow Cruiser he drove in Atlantis found.I don`t know if this is what you meant by `any other transportation`, but do you remember the donkey he rode in The Mediterranean caper?

Let us not overlook the obvious. Shall I mention the Titanic? Largest vessel of its kind at the time. Sorry, I'm not biased or anything. laugh.gif
