Having sat for some time on the sea wall at The Mumbles today in blazing sunshine I believe I have observed the PWC users code of conduct:
1. All PWC owners must use either a works van or a Max Power modded Rover 200 as a towcar, no others are acceptable.
2. Those using a works van must have at least 5 fat mates with them who shout at the top of their voices continually. Those with the Rover must have the stereo turned up to a volume 50% higher than their PWC engine at max revs on the trailer.
3. Launching may only take place when all members of the party have an open beer in at least one of their hands.
4. No PWC may be driven at any time below full throttle and/or in a straight line.
5. No PWC may be driven more than 100m from the launching point except where this enables the vehicle to be used in an anti-social way, particularly such as in areas reserved for children to paddle.
6. After launching, all PWC users must endeavour to abandon both towcar and trailer on slipway at such an angle as to stop any sailing dinghy being launched without the aid of a helicopter.
7. In the event of a sailing type complaining about being unable to access the slipway, he must be abused by at least 3 fat men who then must grudgingly move van/rover at 70mph with wheels spinning.
8. Whilst remaining within 100m of the slipway, the standard PWC run format must be adhered to at all times which is 4 full throttle full lock turns to the right and then the same to the left, 1 100m faux slalom zig-zag and finally one high speed run with head hunkered down behind handlebars to reduce wind resistance.
9. Upon successful recovery of PWC, the towcar and trailer may once again be returned to their rightful role as slipway barricades for a period not less than from sunset to closing time of the nearest pub.
I think that just about covered it! /forums/images/icons/smile.gif
