Her Majesty's favorite secret service agent wished hard to have this space-age "toy" under his Christmas tree, but the ingenious old man in the lab was late commissioning Swiss automobile dream factory Rinspeed Inc. to make this wish come true. So he has to wait until after the Geneva Motor Show 2004 to venture off to his new mission.
