Go test the water!

Maybe I should send my girlfriend up to collect you. You are aware of the velocities she can attain in a motor car!

Matter of interest - the seagull that's been underwater for a while - how long?
And what is inside the carburettor? I keep on getting ex-submerged motors where the carb looks like its been filled with Pollyfilla...
