    Nah mate ... One of the blokes was already on the water aboard the jetski .... the other in the car! They had launched and he was driving off the ramp, well ... tried!!!

    it made the front page of the gold coast paper

    the car owner was from sydney and had never used that ramp before he said he had trouble with the gaers
    apprently the ramp drops off very sharply

    the number plate on the car is "amazing"

    who leaves a car in reverse on the ramp holding on by the handbrake?????

    at least when our car sank it was attributed to the slime on the ramp and the steepness of the ramp. The weight of the boat on the rear of the trailer acted like a lever and lifted the rear of the car enough for the front wheels to start rolling and the rear wheels being on the slime - the whole lot just slid into the drink. Accidents can happen to anyone and we have been boating / in boats all of our life. Funny to see it happen to someone else. Know how it feels.

    Re: calias in the drink

    Not related to the Holden but how come when a boat on a trailer is draging in a vehicle backwards it doesn't just stop once the boat floats or the boat and trailer float? Anyone seen this? Surely the car would stop it's self once the weight was removed?

    All just slime and no front wheel handbrake?

    cheers fnq
