That was the best Top Gear yet.
Can't believe they made the crossing in that,,, thing... I did that same run for Canada Day 2012 and had to abort the first attempt due to the conditions 5 miles out. So Kudo's to Rutledge, though I doubt he actually built his own anphib.. Just floating on a car in 250' water is heck of a lot more than I would do. Was scary enough in a boat when it plugged a fuel filter at 10 miles out..
I'll make it up for the run next year, is a great area for boating.

Just watched the episode on YouTube... it was hilarious!
I agree that crossing in such a small craft is a bit scary. My 39 crosses without issue but that thing with the VW front end could have taken on water in a slight chop. They were lucky the lake was not angry that day and it was calm as could be.
It's too bad the Jeep sank. I thought it was the one that would make it?
