well that experiment didn't go as expected,
the idea to use two cars to thread the boat between other boats didn't take into account that the roofs might have not been strong enough or that the slippyness of the roof would mean the the rear cars roof would allow the bow to slide off onto the bonnet, someones been watching too many thunderbird episodes.
i noticed the crusty old boat picture disappeared - even I could not come up with anything, and I was thinking of ' the recent budget cuts means that a smaller more cost effective flying dutchman is being proposed '
