Title: What was the second hovercraft going to be?
Post by: The Ferry Man on September 05, 2010, 13:06:24

Hi Guys

A long time back now, there were plans for another hovercraft in game, but that was removed, and I am sure I remember Frank saying something like there were plans but there were difficulties {or something can't remember exactly}

Does anyone know what the second craft would have been?

lol, good one!

I was thnking, since we had 'Ducky' in SS2008, I think we should come up with another one for SSE.

How about that Nissan 4x4 pick-up truck with a massive outboard motor mounted at the back - as seen in Top Gear, driven by Jeremy Clarkson  :lol:

lol, the crazy thing is, Jeremy Clarkson and his 2 other co-presenters (James May and Richard 'Hamster' Hammond actually managed to cross one of world's busiest shipping channels in that pick-up truck, and successfully reached the French coast.

How they managed not to be hit by a ship is quite beyond me. I also heard the RNLI were not too impressed by their antics....
