RETIREMENT was never going to be dull for someone like Glenn Mundell.
A rev head on and off land, the former Sea World professional water skier and wet suit developer took just four months to build his “boat car”.
The fibreglass bottom inflatable/DRB Sabre kit car dubbed ‘Ridiculous’ has turned heads on Gold Coast waterways, clocking a top speed of 50km/h.

Mr Mundell hoped to sell the part-car-part-speed-boat or offer it up as a new advertising space to an interested buyer, so he can start on his next project — a floating pink FAB 1, the six-wheeled car owned by Lady Penelope in animated TV show Thunderbirds.

“Every year I like to build something a little different and have had a few projects, but this one I have unfortunately fallen in love with,” the 69-year-old Biggera Waters man said.
“So I want to see it used for something fun like as a promotional thing like Red Bull up the side.
“It can tow a water skier or a wake boarder and always gets people’s attention.
“It has been a joy so I hope it will be one for someone else.”
