Sci-fi becoming fact

[ozzy72]

Some of our older members might remember a not terribly brilliant Tom Sellick film Runaway, the baddie had a gun that fired bullets that could steer themselves and were heat seeking.
Well the fantasy is a step closer.... does rather take the fun out of the snipers course though!

I'd be quite happy with Thunderbird 2, heck I wouldn't even mind Lady Penelope's Rolls Royce! That was cool 8-)

Guided rounds have been around for a bit. Albeit the Excalibur is a 155mil artillery round!

[ozzy72]

I'm well aware of the larger guided munitions, it is the fact that it is coming down to rifle sized calibre that amazes me 8-)
It often seems to me that someone dreams up an idea in a film or book and then years later some scientist(s) make it! Maybe there should be a case put forward for teaching Futurology
Now to design some James Bond style optional extra's for my new car [smiley=evil.gif]

Actually it could change colour Matt ;-) Mind you I wouldn't mind it in pink, it'd keep Emi happy and NOBODY could say "Oh I didn't see you!"

All you would need is a nice blond wig and you could sideline as a Katie Price look-a-like

Speing of sci fi becoming a reality, What is with the Russian and American scientists. They need to watch more movies because they clearly are constantly trying to find new ways to eliminate us .
But this really is a plot out of a horror movie. Soviet/Russian/American/scientist, do something silly, Something gets out and the rest is history

Well, Jules Vernes had an atomic powered sub. How long did it take the modern world to get theirs?

Ozzy, if you paint your BMW pink I swear I'll start calling you Barbie!
