The Toybota would appear to have become a nissan. James' herald sailing car was being dragged out the water, upside down

They could shift a few of those down south this weather no doubt
Stupidly, I came within an inch of buying an amphicar years ago from the TSSC (the herald based thingy). Common sense prevailed and I bought a spitfire instead. If that's sense at all...

I used to have a chocolate coloured one of those, without the boat bit.

Coastguards' fury as Top Gear stars attempt to 'drive' across the Channel
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/a ... xpand=true
Top Gear stars are used to leaving chaos in their wake and this time was no different.
The hosts embarked on an ambitious journey across the Channel in cars which had been converted into make-shift boats, much to the ire of local coastguards, who claimed the weren't forewarned about the trip.
Two of the three vehicles began to sink within just minutes of taking to the water near Dover. Jeremy Clarkson's Nissan 4x4, complete with outboard motor proved the most buoyant.
Fellow presenters Richard Hammon, who had attached a sail to Triumph Herald and James May, who secured a propeller to a VW, were forced to join Clarkson for the remainder of the voyage to France.
