Yeah, cos why spend money on the car as long as it runs when you could spend it on the boat instead.

Sailors don't get old!!! They get a little dinghy (or skiff, or yacht...)

Dont think mine match up

Musto skiff, new and very well looked after and an old VW transporter van def not new and badly looked after.

but I would rather spend my cash and get my adrenalin fix by going fast on the water rather  than by breaking the law on the road...

My first car was an ancient mini and my first boat an equally basic mirror of similar vintage. Furthermore, in my first month of ownership I managed to put a large dent in the wing or the mini and a hole in the bow of the mirror. With a bit of patching the car could still be driven and the boat sailed.

IMO...

BMW's use whatever lane they please, indication is optional as are brake lights, insurance and MOT (if applicable).

They do get mighty surprised when my little green estate blows past them though ;-)
