One bag, one carplane

Lose weight (luggage or body, or both) if you want fly/drive your own carplane:

The car, which flew for the first time last year, has lost 90lb of useful payload, down from 550lb to 460lb. This means that with a full tank of fuel (120lb) it can carry just 330lb - 23 stone - including pilot, passenger and luggage. It has, however, gained an emergency parachute, meaning that it can land safely even if its wings were to fall off. - telegraph.co.uk

Alas, its release has been delayed. Reserve one here. Won’t fit in your garage:
