Well, in the US we are currently working on our bridge from California to Hawaii. When this is finished, we will be more than happy to share the experience of building and crossing an open ocean in a car. We are planning on break down scenarios and storms at sea.

Kind of a dumb question. Since this is the 'World' forum, it may be the 'World's' dumbest question.

I think it would be brilliant. You could drive to Glasgow from here in like two hours which is fantastic.

The time would be reduced significantly but its not gonna happen.

It might happen one day, just not in the foreseeable future.

It woulld more likely be a rail link like the Channel Tunnel than a road link, although like the Channel Tunnel you would be able to drive your car on to the train.

LOL - can't wait for this torture to finish and for Engalnd to come home.

We have had a good run in recent years, and hopefully things will improve by the time of the next Ashes series.

Australia have been worthy winners and very good to watch, just which we could have given you a game, and yes that one day match was close and offered a rare moment of excitement from a very one sided tour.
