Does this Toyota driver really expect to drive across Port Phillip Bay without a snorkel.

I'd be wanting some good muddies. He could get bogged on those islands out there.
Who's gonna snatch him? A passing container ship?

Don't worry too much a Landrover will show up eventually and winch it out, That's the reason why we fit winches to our trucks [biggrin]

The Ark has to be timber, seven stories high and three football fields long - plenty of room for the whole of AULRO with parking on the bottom deck.

The whole of AULRO? I don't think so, not in a tub of that size, it would barely be big enough for Mr Marsh's collectable fleet.

About the length of a container ship, but taller. We have about 4915 followers, according to Tapatalk. If each brought one vehicle that could be doable.
There's a ginormous copy of it in Kentucky, built by an organization whose founder comes from Brisbane, so that's an Aussie link.
I reckon AULRO would fit.

I'm sorry, but a real container ship would at least float and carry Land Rovers, unlike this land lubber's attempt at a "replica". Also a container ship has an engine and can get you places. [thumbsupbig]

It doesn't need to go anywhere in a flood, it just has to float.
If the whole earth is under water, then there is nowhere to go.

If you've ever been in a boat in a storm with engine failure you wouldn't say that. Engines are useful for maintaining way. And the Kentucky Kook's Kreation wouldn't float, except as driftwood. Anyway, this discussion is heading straight towards the cliff edge of religion so I'll stop now. [bighmmm]

Yes I've been caught in a freak storm, your right with out forward motion of a motor riding the oncoming waves and keeping the bow into the waves, if your aimlessly drifting, it's like a washing machine getting tossed around, a decent broad side wave can topple a boat. Even a wave coming over the transom.

The Ho Hars had 18 Landys last time I asked. How many does Mr Marsh have?
Anyway Noah only took on board a pair of each kind, so that just means we only need a pair of Series 1s to carry the DNA to breed every descendant Landy.
Is Landy worship an actual religion or just a hobby?

Mr Marsh has more than Landys, and separating him from his Mokes would require a proctologist.

Weld three of them side by side and you'd have enough volume for a 4x4 track in side it and around it. You could even change the track by open and closing doors.
