This retired Brit hates to be held up in traffic jams on his way to the pub, limited hours in Olde Blighty, you know.
His solution was to convert his riding lawnmower into amphibious vehicle, so he could take to the water when the roads are jammed.

It's impressive that he's got the trim of the craft, in the water, just right. The propeller spinning like mad when the boat is on the road; that part needs a bit more work.:cool:
