It is a spoof - Photoshopped!

There is no turning space at the boat end of the track.

sure, ruin our fun...

DonaldG · 03-22-2008, 03:08 PM

Opps - sorry - shame on me - slinks off, stage left with tail between legs.

Why do they need turning space? Cant they just drive on forwards?

DonaldG · 03-22-2008, 03:27 PM

take a close look. If it were genuine, then the easiest and safest direction is to drive forward towards the boat and reverse to the light house.

In the picture the car REVERSES to the boat. Reversing dangerously round a tight bend?

The other main pointer to it being a fake is that there are no road signs nor a petrol/gas station!

**carsey** · 03-22-2008, 03:35 PM

What if he drives onto the boat forwards?

DonaldG · 03-22-2008, 04:03 PM

Can't do that - no ramp!

**Deleted090308** · 03-22-2008, 04:11 PM

It's probably a Greek island - they drive like crazy anyway.

DonaldG · 03-22-2008, 04:15 PM

LOL....

In reality, it is broken down half way. The driver is waiting for breakdown recovery ...

**carsey** · 03-22-2008, 04:32 PM

but the car has a shadow

DonaldG · 03-22-2008, 04:35 PM

I didn't realise broken down cars were not allowed to have shadows.

DonaldG · 03-22-2008, 04:41 PM

There is no calm water in the lee of the Island or the lee of the boat.

**Deleted090308** · 03-22-2008, 04:50 PM

Ask Zazula - he can explain why you need a car on that tiny island.

**sobeit** · 03-22-2008, 08:25 PM

maybe its a large island with a very large car

mimo2005 · 03-23-2008, 10:35 AM

It is a parking garage island .

DonaldG · 03-23-2008, 10:37 AM

Fees must the high, not many customers.

Or maybe it's an underground/water parking...
