The only thing keeping that car from taking a plunge is the spring line wrapped around the front wheel. Knife would take care of that, quickly.

[Left Hook]

I wonder how quickly that guys insurance will drop him (no pun intended) when they find out they have to pay for the repair on that kroozer. I bet it'll go for 3-4 times the cost of that econo-box!

[bruno]

New Beetle, looks good from that angle.

[silent bob]

New Beetle, looks good from that angle.

Ummm....

Volkswagen doesn't make a 4 door New Beetle.

But other than that, good fail.

[Randall Flagg]

I think for it to work properly, the rubber tires need to be facing the boat. Not the dock. Someone obviously put the fender on wrong.

[Rum Runner]

I wonder if the new VW Beetle floats like the old ones from the 70's?

[Asymptote]

Talk about product placement. Shouldn't they really buy an ad?

[Peragrin]

That spring line has a lot of stretch if it can hold a car up. though on that boat I bet the line is worth more than the car.

[Feral Cat]

Maybe the marina should put a curb around the docks so idiots who leave their car in neutral won't find it later in the drink.

[walterbshaffer]

The most interesting thing is that there had to be someone in it when it stopped; wonder how they got out or if they are still inside?

[williwaw]

the only sensible thing one can do with a beetle

[DIMITRIS]

New Beetle, looks good from that angle.

Guys it is not a VW beetle.....it's a Citroen C3

Quite right and Citroens have automatic handbrakes. I always wonder if you can trust them.

[optimist-academy.ch]

That happens when car manufacturers (citroen) keep on designing cars that look like fenders...

[fdsailor]

Its not another of those 'sculptures' by that artist who sawed a boat in half and mounted it on various harbour seabeds so it looked like a sinking boat is it?

[bruno]

mea culpa, thought it looked like the new turbo, i stand corrected.

[Patrese]

And we call it "Fahrvergnügen" or for the non QWERTZ type-rs Fahrvergnuegen...

wonder how "Autobahn approved" made it to cross the Atlantic

I thought Captain Francisco Schettino was supposed to be under house arrest.

[sea_adventure]

The boat is a Castro 82, located in Antibes, France...

We're gonna need a bigger gangway

"Ah hell, I think a boat landed on us!"

Someone's ego got bruised real bad.

[Ponzi]

Is that an X-Yacht?

[Loco.]

I said hook the tender up to the davits!

[FOOKINWAVE]

This is a economic political statement depicting social class warefare. David vs Golith photo opt. Much more effective than the human microphone. I beleieve tyhe owner of the VW should convert the bug and sail it across the channel.

[Haywire]

When launching the Castro 82's marina run-about using the spinnaker halyward, be sure to attach the lifting harness to BOTH the front and back lifting points.

[hobie17li]

Mate to Capt. "Hey Cap I think our charter party is here"

[Owen]

taking the 'marina del rey racing stripe' to a new level. better be a turbo.

what a boat! between this and the 'selling the sailboat' thread I am feeling woefully inadequate.

[Shibby]

Is that an X-Yacht?

are you a webtard.

[SparxFly]

It'll be interesting to see the "after" shots, once the car is removed.

[Haco]

Le voila! Maintenant, ou sont mes clefs?

[Alec McC]

I couldn't find a dock-cart, so I got the car as close as I could.

[Shibby]

the haulout will cost more than a new car...

[GHarbor2]

Sweet boat!

How about firing the guy who designed the dock without a bullrail?

['moondance44]

Could probably just throw the main halyard around the rear wheel and use the electric winch to pull the little shitter off while a car with another line pulls it into the parking lot.

[dreaded]

"honey, hold my bordeaux, watch this!"

[Gunny]

Jealous of others who have cars, helicopters and other toys on their decks, Pierre tried too hard to fit in.

When I said 'fenders,' this is not what I meant.

You rule. Thats an awesome idea. as long as the rope on the car in the parking lot holds.

[bugger]

He fell off the front (of the dock).

[hobot]

Fail - still inside the enviroment.

[JSR11]

If that car was mine, that's exactly what I would do with it.

Looks to me like a J/105 owner just showing up to the marina to go out for a sail

[pointyend]

I never understood why there aren't more portable curbs to prevent situations like this (like we use in parking lots in the US). I always saw that setup in Europe and wondered how many cars went in the drink. Amsterdam seemed especially crazy with all the street parking just inches away from the edge of the canals, and no curbs!

[t.rex]

Car owner to boat owner, "Don't worry dude, it'll buff right out."

[Bob Perry]

You can get a lot more cars in the parking lot when you park them vertically.

[FOOKINWAVE]

I've done some stunt driving myself. Mostly in first generation Nazi go karts, they used to call them bugs. They were great in snow had great heat and super easy to hot wire if you needed a ride.
The ultimate road trip vechicle good on gas, which made for more beer money.

Hey fordeck, Skipper said leave the fenders on the the dock....

[Loco.]

New glasses required.

Marina not Carina.





PS. Carina is Latin for keel.

[cap10ed]

Only a yacht designer would come up with that point of view. Being the space conscious dude he is. LOL! Nice one Bob.

Why to never let the new stewie drive the boat car.

Not wanting to be late for dock call, bob decided he'd drive from the bar straight to the boat...

This is what happens when you take up two spaces

[Jan Novie]

Owner to crew: "Good job getting the new fender in place. Don't forget to pull it up on deck when we go out for our next sail".

Hey, you scratched my anchor?!

I was wondering why many posters think its a beetle(and continue to even though its been pointed out many times its not), then I actually looked at the front page. Clean fucked up.

[Great Red Shark]

Pretty much all of Europe is non-OHSA compliant. From the crazy-narrow steep staircases in old hotels to bizarre entrances and fixtures, I just about get a sore neck from shaking my head "That'll NEVER pass ADA-inspection....oh yeah...they don't care." Then check out the older back-roads in Italy - windy, narrow, no run-off, no guardrail - sometimes there will be a rusty piece of wire alongside a stunning dropoff. Not for the nervous.

But the comment about firing somebody for NOT having a bump-stop curb ? All you have to do is NOT drive over the edge, you know.

[damnyankee]

God this one could go on for days!! Getting popcorn......

FTR - I think Citroen C3 adds a LOT more time to the PHRF than a Volkswagon would, still handy for a quick run into town after the race though.

We really need a full blown caption contest for this......

Citroen C3- Its the new Cruiser Dink, fits on the foredeck - Mostly.

Citroen C3 - when you just cant drink anymore....

Citroen C3- not the way to set up spring lines...

Citroen C3 - no parking fees, no slip fees.....

Volkswagon - When you finally kill that Citroen C3.....

Alright- back to work.

Ohh wait - More !!!

Citroen C3 -when you have to let Clean take the car.

(we love you man)

[Mud sailor]

no, it's meant to work like this...

Having scratched the paintwork on the way into the marina, the skipper decided the cheapest way to get it fixed was through the stewards car insurance...

went on a bender, ended up as a fender. Thats a big night.

It was actually the Stewardess from another yacht in the harbor who forgot to set the parking brake on the car. Unfortunatelly not the first time this happen in Antibes. Bit hard to explain to the owner.

[WhoaTed]

Another French fail. Christ, even the Haitians have this figured out.

[Drewbius]

It's the new Farrier folding automobile tender.

[saulnier]

It's a rolling tender

What's wrong, Seposito? Did your inflatable girlfriend spring a leak or did she just float away? Aren't you tired of spewing non-stop keyboard diarrhea about J-105s? Get a life or, at a minimum, some professional help.
