SUMMER TRAVEL OPPORTUNITY. Transport Blog visits Samizdata, and discovers the London Duck Tours (if you neglect the corks, do you have a Yellow Submarine, Patrick?). Ah, nostalgia. The concept of DUKW-as-sightseeing-craft got its start at the Wisconsin Dells (still operating, company details here). Smithsonian has noticed them, a local business restores and operates them and you can work your way through college driving them, but you'd best be handy with the stick and the lost art of double-clutching (clutch in, move selector from gear to neutral, clutch out, clutch in, move selector from neutral to new gear) to make it as a Duck Driver.
