Winter project teaser

[Nefarious]

I'm not quite ready to fully reveal yet, but I'm bursting with excitement so can't resist doing a little teaser

I have a winter project. It's not directly car related, but involves at attempt to do something pretty extreme in a vehicle that's never been successfully done before.

Things it involves:
Cold
Danger
Engines
Speed
Being a long way from home
A 6-part series on Discovery

Things it doesn't involve:
Wheels
Roads/tracks
A stopwatch

Hoping to get clearance from the production company in the next few days to be able to reveal more...

[Rich B]

Interest piqued...!

[NotoriousREV]

Dis gon be gud!

[Mito Man]

Hardcore motorboating all the way to the North Pole in winter.

[ZedLeg]

My bet is Alaskan crab fishing in a speedboat.

ETA With Richard Rawlings Wooooo

Motorised Ice Yachting Speed World Record ??

[nuttinnew]

Microlight or hovercraft to a Pole? Probably not enough speed for it to be one of those.
First jetpack ascent of Everest?
Minisub to the Pole?
Northwestern passage by jetski?
Hot air balloon in the jetstream?

[Jobbo]

I reckon you'll be a natural on the telly

Antici..........

Ekranoplan to Antarctica?
Hovercraft to the top of Everest?
Jetski to the moon?

[scotta]

I know........

[Gavin]

I know........

you know, and Jonny Wetherspoon knows!

I am guessing ascending a cold mountain on a skidoo or motorised heelies.

[Nefarious]

Scarily, some of the guesses aren't too far away. The right vehicle and the right geographic location have both been mentioned.

[NotoriousREV]

Fingers crossed it was Ekranoplan that was right.

[dinny_g]

Oh hell yeah Rev...

I mean it won’t be that but how cool would it be..

[Jobbo]

Fingers crossed it was Ekranoplan that was right.

Ekranoplan to the top of Everest

[Gavin]

heelies up Everest it is then!

[Nefarious]

Fingers crossed it was Ekranoplan that was right.

Funnily enough, we did look at building something a bit like it - inspired by this https://www.hautetime.com/amphibious/88 ... sdkS44N63w and this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiLxXWgwj0M

However, the *danger of immediate death* factor has encouraged a somewhat less DIY/untested theory approach to the whole project, so we'll be modifying commercially available vehicles rather than building from scratch (slight shame, as we had a Subaru diesel and two Honda fireblades all ready to go)

Will you be doing whatever it is with ex-servicepeople?

Well, that’s a disappointment
