tescos car park!! they will love it in there,by the way... i dont own it, the chap who does own it has lost interest so ive taken it on as a project to use whenever and also pocketmoney to get mechanically running!! better that way as i dont have the hassle of expenditure etc
he has a few ajoining fields and a dried up lake, so there should be plenty of mud to play in!!
ps the lake will fill in the winter, he he

Is that a crane on top?
If so, could you not park the RIB on top, drive it into the sea and use the crane to lift the RIB in over the side.
The ideal solution to not dunking your trailer

Funnily enough, we do have a use for one. We live by a river that floods at inconvenient times (and other times too)  Could be useful for gettng from the house to the garage to check the RIB's ok
Do you rent it out?
