<font face="Arial" size="2">We might have to pay the equivalentof about $9 for a gallon forgasoline here in the UK but we also have some of the best car related TV in the world - especially an award winning BBC programme called " Top Gear "- I think this is sometime shown on Discovery Channel in the States and it can often be found on Internet download sites. </font>
<font face="Arial" size="2"></font>
<font face="Arial" size="2">Last night Top Gear did a big feature on amphibious cars, there was abrief mention of Amphicar at the start but then they constructed 3 of their own, a Toyota Pickup with a 230HP outboard that went surprisingly well. A VW Camper that became a houseboat - and sunk - and a Triumph Herald, same age as Amphicar and looks a bit like but this one was a sailboat with what must have been a 20foot mast on it. </font>
<font face="Arial" size="2"></font>
<font face="Arial" size="2">All very entertaining and well worth watching if you get the chance,more info here:</font>
