Nutloose has got the outboard motors on the ramp ready to go, thinks he can beat the channel crossing time set by Jezza Clarkson in a Toyota pick-up.

There, I told you that hovering in ground effect was different to hovering in water effect, look at all that rain you've sucked down.

The time has come...

Some terrific entries, but here goes:
  • 3rd - cargosales with
    "Very nice Hoskins, but the rest of us use loo roll"
  • 2nd - racedo with
    "Rotor faster, I hear banjos"
  • 1st - Treadigraph with
    " A Twenty-first Century return to Victorian values saw the development of technologically advanced bathing machines"
As a special bonus, SASless has volunteered to drop off the CST to you:


Let's hope he doesn't set fire to it...

Oh gawd, another tongue-in-cheek comment taken seriously! I can't believe I beat Glenn Close... Thank you artee and I am deeply honoured to once again host the CST in Chateau Treads for a brief moment in time.

Now, will some kindly soul who is just itching to post a pic and judge the next worthy winner please take control?
