Took.a Hell of a Header at 2.08

Looked like a rough ride even with suspension seats

Interesting lines - she looks like an updated version of the Virgin Atlantic Challenger II circa mid 80's...

Thing is probably unsafe in the rough. Looks like its got ASDs on it, no chance of it hooking up

I bet you Full Farce Tim could beat it across the Great Lakes:whistle:

Probably be a b!tch around the docks with the ASD's. roll eyes!!

Metamarine compact surface drives - obviously a variant in design of Arneson's

Def def def defin defin Definitely Dangerous around the Docks.

1-2-3-4-5 Blades and Surface Drives Definitely Dangerous.
