London to New York

Morning all, may as well kill two birds with one stone. We (wont mention company because of site rules) have been working over the past two years to make three 110s capable of being amphibious.
After much gnashing of teeth, swearing, over 100 hours of trials and a crap load of money we recently managed to transit the Thames, Cross the channel and head off down the Seine.
The vehicles are back with us now with a list as long as your arm for modifications and upgrades and with a plan for next year once the expedition is finished. Maybe a few records for speed on the water? who knows.
Look forward to documenting our trials and tribulations going forward to the next stage.

This should be interesting. My daughters showed me the Thames trip on Instagram. Eiger Grey MY23 D250 SE with bits. Known as Noddy.

I hope you're not planning to cross the Atlantic in 'em, right? Mind you, I haven't seen your setup, but even small (<30ft) but purpose-built sailboats struggle with that... Defender 130 HCPU Td5 MY2000

I take it that you just followed the water ingress manual and plugged all the leaks to make it watertight
