    Maybe it's the James Bond version. It just needed a bit more water to make it work properly.

    Lovely stuff. You can see some marvellous examples of stupidity at marinas everywhere. Just near me I've seen a Hyundai submerged to the roof because the driver and passenger just got out for a fag and of course she didn't put the hand brake on so back it rolled into the drink.
    Another where a yacht and car got launched by themselves as the driver left it, again no hand brake on or in park, and walked back to have a look at the water. Lazy driving habits seen everywhere.
    Then the best I've seen was where a bloke with his mighty bullet proof machine (you know the ones I mean...) roared back to slide the brand new boat off into the water and braked too soon! Bang crash as it hit the ramp very hard about 3 metres from the waters edge.
    The air was more than blue. :-))

    Saw a YouTube clip of a guy in a new V8 Jeep do the same sort of thing to launch his boat. It's actually a valid way to launch a boat but you don't go at it like a bull at a gate. His problem was that he hadn't unchained the boat properly and the momentum of car and boat (plus big V8, power applied and boofhead showoff) on a mossy ramp, despite brakes applied heavily, meant a nice bath for the car as well.

    It must have been a petrol version, a diesel and snorkel probably would driven/ paddled out on it's own steam. At least it looked like it floated towards the trailer for recovery
