The original plan to construct a cofferdam and refloat the vessel failed. They are now planning to drag her out the way she was pushed in by Wilma's storm surge. That would cause a lot more damage.

Meanwhile, someone suggested another solution.

Sorry, I don't "get" the cows thing. Is it because they are longhorns?

You don't see a lot of longhorns in the middle of Michigan, it's a long way to Texas. The farmer even looked a lot like GWB, but was smarter and nicer. My wife and I live in the city, getting out and seeing country sights is a little thrill for us.

Random picture thread, don't say nothing about having to do with boats.

A little drive in the country down here in central Illinois might reveal a cow or two also

In the meantime Ingolstadt powered through the Heads, possibly unaware of the flotilla scurrying out of its path.

I think this might be the electric Lotus done by a 3rd party vendor, I'm not sure.

What do you think?

I'ts been sitting outside the Lotus EPA engineering testing center in Ann Arbor, Michigan for at least a week. I don't drive much so I can't say for sure.

It has a small spare tire on it, and has been sitting for at least a week, you can see all the dirt from the recent rain we have had here.

Do you see a gas fill tank cap?

Do see where it might plug in?

I's far less insect-like than the current car, and not as round as the older version.

I like it, and it's the right color.



Yea I know it's a boat forum, sue me.

It is the Speedster, a model that they have made for Opel.

That's it, the Vauxhall/Opel Speedster..........with no gas cap and no central mounted exhaust. And a rear plate that says LOTUS CARS LIMITED.

It has to be electric. I think the front hood vents may be closed off too.

I just found this Audi R8 looking version, pretty snazzy, hey?
