And a Bath to Sail Her In

In the wake of my blog about Hydro Jets recently, Woodstock flagged up an auction by a seller in Argentina - Monte-Firu. The auction was for a 'Space Laser Powerboat' made by Antex. This gorgeous example of plastic goodness was a little out of my league to obtain, as it was overseas, but I did manage to pinch a few pictures in the meanwhile! While I was drooling over it, it occurred to me that I had seen this beast before and in this country. I had a recollection of spotting a blue and chrome silver version, in slightly  different packaging - the one I saw was in a bubblepack. Unfortunately, it was one of those instances where I spotted it in a shop window and for whatever reason I was unable to buy it. Still, a least I know there must be one around the UK somewhere.. patience is a virtue...
