Yes, come along - I'm going. And there's be an amphibious showing at the Traditional Boat Festival a few weeks earlier, same location...

Henley on Thames, the home of Stuart Turner, a once great supplier of many marine engines and leisureboat propulsion systems

I want to go but I'm unsure at the moment. We have just had our baby daughter born in the last few weeks and I don't think I will get the time off! I will email to see if I can do a few days rather than the entire week.

My wife is not convinced that an amphibious car is a suitable means of transport for a new born baby!!!!

Rear seats and carpets fitted


The interior is coming along, still have the passenger front seat to fit.


Nifty little gadget that plugs into the OBD port and gives a constant live read out of various sensors and readings etc like revs, voltage, temps, speed etc etc Link here - www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01HET7ANE/r...02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hello ZukracerV6, how are you getting on? Any more pictures? Have you been in the water?
Please let us know.

Thanks in advance!

Not been swimming yet, still trying to sort the pesky ABS out! Will post a few pics this week, as apart from a few bits of trim the Surf is finished.
