The cars:

1960 250GT SWB

1967 275GTB/4

These two cars could net $10-12M, and would be the largest donation the RNLI has ever seen.

It is hoped that the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! will generate enough cash allow the RNLI to float two brand-new lifeboats, a cause that was important to Colton, who was said by friends to be nervous of the sea.

I also learned there is something called the RNLI, and what they do.

I have been to the YouTube, and believe I have found what you were describing.

...and have also found the weirdest boat launch/recovery I have ever seen.

This shit looks expensive. I may bid on the cars just to help out.

yep that its, and the boats are expensive (take the tamar class, that is £2.6m) because they are rather advanced even if they don’t look like it from the outside

It does it so easily that you think why can't all boats do that
