It’s Not Plain Sailing, After All
Italian coastguards failed to see the funny side after two men turned a bright pink Maserati into a waterproof car-boat for a trip to the seaside. The men thought the vehicle’s documentation would also cover them for sailing after they drove down the beach and into the water at Forte dei Marmi. But they were fined several hundred euros and the Maserati was confiscated.

Spoil Sports - obviously they all had Ferraris and wanted a Masserati - saw one yesterday when driving the ambulance - it roared off down the motorway leaving us all in it's wake. Not sure if it would float though ~ Eddie
Pink Massarati boats, that's weird.

I agree with Brian. We SO needed a photo!
Methinks somebody had too much money and time on their hands, but no brains! ;-)

(Italian pronounciation of "sailing", perchance?)
Aw, they were just jealous and wanted it for themselves!
