As the tital

As you must have seen a cargo ship beeched off Southampton

On the news they mentioned that there are some 1,200 Jags and LandRovers on board

So if anyone wants to start the bidding before they go on eBay !!

I guess it's bad news if you're with Lloyds and good news if you work in the factory.

Latest report is the cars were well strapped down and don't appear damaged, a bit like the Routemaster, official tilt test 28 degrees but some double deckers with ballast in seats on top deck passed 32 degrees, google 'tilt bus' images some scary angles achieved. But all the weight is low in the chassis and engine with lightweight ally and fibreglass body above. How often you see a truck blown over but not a bus, low centre of gravity.
