If nothing else, you could become one hell of an auto parts store...

Where RossMAN when you need him? I need a hot deal on a submarine or submersible rental and a small cargo ship for a day.

Anyone interested in an aston martin for $30k? Talk about a flood sale! :Q

Its really their plot to use these land-water-air vehicles to spy on the annoying French.
 

0 miles!
Aqua colored interior!
Only minor water damage to leather seats!

*Reminds everyone to be careful shopping for European cars for the next few months...*

Pissa.

Almost as sad as having to dump WWII stuff over the sides after the war. Jeeps, planes, etc. Lots of history lost :(

LONDON - Two cargo ships collided Saturday in the English Channel, injuring no one but causing one of the vessels to sink with 2,862 cars on board.
That's a lot of vehicles. :Q
Ronnevig said the ship was carrying 2,000 tons of fuel oil.
That's a lot of fuel. :Q Good thing none is leaking.

You wouldn't want one after it had been soaking in salt water for a week or so.

A member on a X5 board may have lost his 4.6is on the boat. Doh

They'll probably have to raise the ship sometime. It's only in 27 meters of water so it'll probably be a hazard to navigation.

That sucks for the people whose cars they probably were. Not that they would be held responcible but they'll just have to wait another 8 weeks for delivery. I picture a 60 year old man who just put his 2 daugheters through college and had enought to finally buy his Bimmer. Goes to the dealership all excited and cutom builds his dream car. He's told it will take 8 weeks for delivery but he doesn't care, he's been waiting 60 years. Then he gets the dreaded call from the dealership that his baby has sunk and he must wait another 8 weeks for his car to arrive...

Another 8 weeks... It would be torture. I mean.. waiting patiently for the 8 weeks would not be bad for him... but when it isn't there after the 8 weeks, he'll have to live with the thought that it might never come.
