Devised by a group of British adventurers known as the Skycar Expedition Team, the Parajet Skycar aims to be the world’s first carbon neutral flying car, running on a synthetic biofuel made from organic landfill waste. The group plans to take the flying car on a journey from London to Timbuktu (in Northern Mali) in March of 2009.

If you’re the kind of guy that likes to bring the party with you, what could be better than your own portable bar on wheels? Event marketing company Event Hog has created a portable bar trailer line dubbed the BrandStand that you can hitch up and drop off wherever you want to get the booze flowing. The company currently has five models they rent out for events, including The Naked Pig pictured above, a tiki bar, a BBQ-equipped model and others. Each portable bar unit comes with two hanging LCD screens as well as seven bar stools surrounding the bar. Although the trailer-based BrandStand bars are not explicitly for sale, we’re sure that Event Hog would be willing to work with you to create your own for the right price.

Party-A-CarGo Delivers a Better Way to Tailgate

If you’re looking for a portable party solution but don’t have the space for a party bus or an RV, check out Party-A-CarGo, the best traveling tailgate contraption we’ve come across. The Party-A-CarGo is a steel box that mounts onto your trailer hitch and comes equipped with a keg-o-rater, speakers, CD/stereo, and an optional Sirius radio, iPod dock and LCD TV. The beauty of the Party-A-CarGo is that you can bring cold keg beer with you to the tailgate and simply lock it up when you’re ready to head into the game. And if you’d prefer to hang out in the parking lot and finish your beer, you can catch the Party-A-CarGo’s entertainment system.

The box is available with three different sound packages, and prices run from $3,045 upwards of $4,000. Unfortunately, no built-in bbq option is currently available.
