If you don't know what a Rokon is, click here.
Thing about the Rokon is, the wheels with those huge tires, they're hollow, they can be used to transport water, extra fuel ... or as flotation devices to get the thing to the other side of a river, when fording is out of the question. You can't ride it when it's floating, of course.

An enterprising Russian seems to have constructed a ... "car" ... using the same idea.
Now, the body surely does some floating, too, but with those wheels, it does look like it does the floatabation like a Rokon's:

The video embedding, it does not work for non-youtube hosters, as you can observe below. BUT if you click the link, you can watch video of that thing scaring the fish.

Pretty interesting ride. I wonder if the builder does his own product testing? Some of that looked a little stressful.

very interesting 4-wheeler.

from the inside shots, it looks like hes using a treaded vehicle differential steering system

also, rokons are very cool.... i may spring for getting a rokon or modifying something to be rokon-like.
