The trailing vehicle looks rather incongruous with its' displayed sign - if drivers can't see *that* - !!

On it's way to the Boat Show - suspect there will be others on all points towards Southampton ready for Preview Day on Friday. Wonder why they were all driving so close behind - cannot see beyond and at risk if there is an accident - not unknown for a boat to come off the trailer as happened on the sliproad at Fleet last year.
We are toying with the idea of driving to Hythe and taking the ferry on Friday as parking and traffic around Southampton will be horrendous on Friday on until it finishes.

tinyurl references don't last forever
Their website says that the links never expire. Just pulled up an old posting at random using the forum search that dates back to Feb 2003.

The tinyurl link in the post still works ;o)

Surely something that size would require a police escort? - and should he not be driving in the left lane, even if the yacht overhangs the verge slightly? not very considerate if he's going some distance and nothing can get past him!

just had a look on Google maps! - he's miles away from Southhampton!! and don't tell me he's going to try and cart that through London!! - i know the worldly-wise will probably come up with a feasable "route" but it would be fun if he tried it! ;-)

Looks like a bare GRP hull so unlikely to be going to the boat show

Yes, it's clearly not going to the boat show because it's not fitted out. No deck hardware, no hatches or windows, so it's probably just bare mouldings on its way from the moulders to the fitout yard. The yacht looks like an Oyster (see www.oystermarine.com ), which is one of a number of British and American yacht makers companies that basically do design and marketing, using others for mouldings and fitout.

The latest thing, 'Driverail'. You take the train, and to make sure it arrives on time they put it on a lorry.
When the trains ran on time and the roads were congested it used to be the other way round.

Maybe Virgin hadn't paid their electricity bill....?

It is cheaper with our privately owned railway to move a single rail vehicle by road raather than rail.
Astoundingly when I worked for a train builder it was cheaper and easier to deliver an 8 car central line tube train using eight separate lorries by road than it was to do it by putting it behind a diesel locomotive and towing it down by road. It must have embarrassed someone because only the first few went by road.
