thats crazy....they used the original v-8 engine :D

maybe if he had a whipple he would be here by now :D

You gotta give 'em points for inventive...

Nice color :) I guess camouflage 101 wasn't on the turn your buick into an offshore class curriculum:)

I need those dudes working for me. I need creative thinkers and they are few and far between around here.

Mike

I agree with Mike,,g'me thoe's
sucker names & Ph # i could use them in my collision center..

The funny thing is that these are the same bunch who made the crossing in a pick-up truck/boat a year ago. They got sent back only to try again. :D :eek: :rolleyes:

Maybe they're third time will be a charm:D :D :D

I hear they were trying to get hear for Reggie's Kilo Run.:D

I heard Reggie invited them to run the Kilo against him, but later backed out fearing the competition.!:eek:

Sad thing is with that much creativity, if they made it they would be very successful in this country.

Impulsive did you see Scarface?

With people like that , meaning smart inventive, cuba could have put them good use designing cars or boats for everone, BUT you have to HAVE a FREE county to begin with:eek: :eek: MAYBE C******* with die soon of old age or lead posion:D :D then maybe cuba will be FREE:)

good point!;)

They had to have used paddles on that old Buick... that era Buick had a huge torque tube that was integral with the differential. At least if it was still stock... hahahahha...... Buick nail head engine powers boat/car to florida... too funny

Jose James from Monstro Casa..... makes car/boat in Cuba.... :eureka:

Maybe we should start a new class of offshore racing where you have to drive what your racing to the ramp.:D Oh yeah!.....tail fins.....it has to have tail fins!
:D :D :D

I know most of you guys are posting in good fun, however, I need to say this........
The people that are so desperate to get to our shores in any kind of floating or flying contraption they can come up with, are not evil, they are just trying to get away from the mother-----r current dictators, (in Cuba for example, it has been the same"current" MF for about 40 years or so).
In Haiti, the "leader" changes frequently, but does nothing to improve the country's economic situation (how can he, when he is busy trying to set himself up for life!).......
Mexico...........? and there are so many others......
Most of these people love their country, they would not leave if they had economic opportunities at home, but because of the situations at home, they cannot achieve the levels of success that come so easily to us.
They realize that there is a better way of life out there for their families, so they make the decision to go for it!
Some make it and some don't!
Granted, a lot of them now come to suck off the government programs (our tax dollars), but most of the people I know here are hard workers, decent families, and they are the greatest!
They work their butts off, the kids know who their parents are....(yes, both of them, because the father comes home every day, when he is finished working)!
My family came to this country, legally (we waited 5 years for our immigration visa) when I was 13.
You gotta love an offshore Buick!

:D :D :D

BTW, it looks like a '59 or '60.:cool:

I was about to say maybe it was just a sea trial of a new apache! :eek:

If I do that to my Toyota think it will get me to Miami?:woohoo:

What down the inter-coastal?

Firstmate if the weather doesn't get any beter I 'm callin Shotgun NOW! :p

i heard they were pulling reggie away from fountain to work on brunswicks new master project. the secret is out

I think the Chevy truck was a "51",it ran 8mph! Used 55 gallon drums for floatation. The Coast Gaurd sunk it with machine gun fire.I think they should start a museum for the craft that make it here.
George I'm not kidding the first thing I said when I saw it was the same 2 guys," is that anyone that is that inventive ,dedicated, succesful ,& has that much desire to get here,is the kind of immigrants the US needs."

That is some imagination. Wonder why they did it in the day...... You would think night time would be smarter.
