BogMonster Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 I guess you didn't see Clarkson's "Toybota" - a Hilux with a 225hp outboard on the back Worked quite well till he turned it over.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco_Dunk Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 And for an 'anorak moment'....... the bridge that James May got his mast stuck under ISN'T on the way to the reservoir they were heading for (I'm an ex-Stokie, exiled in East Anglia)....... either he got VERY lost, or they staged it for the show Dunk Must be winter Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 How strange Steve. I was emtying the water out of my Sankey the other day, unblocking the drain holes and thinking that it must surely float well if it would hold so much water...

BogMonster Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 Actually it is the new aux I have just got for my RIB, I was looking for somewhere to hang it while I check it over so it seemed as good a place as any, saved building an engine stand Mo, yeah it is winter too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
