Floating Maserati

Wednesday, July 22, 2009
Two Italian men recently turned a pink Maserati into a boat and tried to circumnavigate Italy.

Coastguards failed to see the funny side of the adventure and fined Marco Amoretti and Marcolino De Candia nearly $350 because they didn’t have boat rego papers or safety equipment.

The guys said they thought the car's registration would cover them for sailing as well.

The two 50-year-olds had already cruised 8km in the Maserati they called Miriam.

But it wasn’t the blokes first shot at the water-car title – 10 years ago they converted a Ford Cortina and a Volkswagen Passat and travelled across the Atlantic Ocean, from the Canary Islands to Martinica in the Caribbean.

Is this idea genius or crazy? Let us know in the comments section below.
