Very funny, Some people have way too much spare time.

That program btw 'Top Gear' is a weekly automotive 'infotainment' programme. They always do stuff like that lol.

Not only too much spare time but also toooo much money, it is just short of criminal to drown a 225. It was a very entertaining video and I must say I enjoyed it, sort of a tortoise versus the hare story.

not sure if it was on the video or not (religious top gear viewer!), but he had originally wanted TWO of those outboards on the back, and was talked out of it.

Too bad they didn't spend more effort making that thing works. Woulda been cool if the Monster Garage guys did something like that. I would build a v-hull to cover the bottom of the chasis, seal the doors and engine compartment, add foam to engine compartment to helps it sit higher up in the water, add steering wheel on the right side since the other steering wheel is already on the left. Modify the hood into a flipping deck, seating in the bed area. In this bass fishing crazed state, something like that would causes lot of wrecks from all the stares.

Re: toyota pickup+225hp honda outboard= awsome!!

Those guys are great. They come up with some really crazy stunts. Did anyone see the one where they tried to kill a Toyota diesel truck? Put it on the top of a 10 story building, blew the building up and recovered the truck at the bottom of the heap. Started it and drove it out of the rubble....drove it into trees, into water and on and on....

I also get to see some older MG's and Triumphs from time to time.

They have done an update to this challenge.

They took the same vehicles, did some tweaking, and attempted to cross the English Channel. The pickup did eventually make it across.

I love Top Gear.
