Somehow i dont think this will catch on in the UK

Probably somewhere in the far corner of the world like asia or there abouts.
Health and Safey would have a ball here

If thats the low budget car carriers, is it any wonder people are buy lots of second hand cars and not new cars that have been hanging off the sides of that!

Wonder if thats loaded like that even in rough weather

Wave Music · « **Reply #2 on:** November 02, 2009, 12:07:17 »

Maybe, but anyway - that one who decided to load them like that (especially on the bridge), isn't normal for sure!

Well I'm not normal either.

For me it looks like a former Russian or Japanese ship (military or fishery), now serving as a PCTC (

) with mainly Japanese cars for Africa. Just a guess...

I have to say that some of the ferries that used to be in Dover - Calais in the same environment
were only marginally better... I think we all know which white ship with a red and blue line we are all talking about! (give you a clue, it was recycled by Gillette and you probably shaved with its hull this morning)

What worries me is that some of those cars are fairly new, so anyone in the right mind who would allow their cars to be stored on the vessel in this way have something wrong with their brain. I wouldn't say this was Russia or Japan like Bottman said, the attire of the people on the dock make it a fairly warm country. I would say somewhere on the African continent.

Naaa...I reckon this is a joke...If it's not, well...It's stilly funny anyway!!

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #8 on:** November 02, 2009, 17:45:07 »

I've got it!

Ryanair have branched out into low cost ferries!

They advertise Dover - Calais (in one environment) but actually drop you somewhere near Le Havre instead.

"Uhh, captain..you better come to the bridge...I think our ship has shrunk overnight.."

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #10 on:** November 02, 2009, 19:00:34 »

Lots of things shrink in water!

Wave Music · « **Reply #11 on:** November 02, 2009, 19:04:05 »

Now I think the captain was very kind after the pint that day, so he made a free offer to anyone who dares...

Nope

Why not, If I really wanted too I could easily photoshop a ship with cars all over it like that.

It looks real - with photoshop you can normally see it has been photoshopped...

Also there is a car being lowered on by crane

Agent|Austin · « **Reply #22 on:** November 02, 2009, 23:18:19 »

That just means that if they photoshopped it, they did a good job.

Just because it looks real doesn't mean it is.

The cranes on the dock look like container cranes, not a crane with a hook, and a spreader bar for lifting cars, you cannot see a hook or anything, good way of making it look like a car being lowered, without actually having one.

Chris-S1 · « **Reply #23 on:** November 02, 2009, 23:20:05 »

that car isnot on any beem or support by the looks of things.

edit if it is a photo shop then its flaming good job!
