A group of Cubans seeking freedom in Florida motored off across the seas in a converted 1955 Buick. At 8 miles per hour they likely wouldn't be getting any speeding tickets. It was probably a good thing for them, though, that they were intercepted by the US Coast Guard rather than by the Armada of El Comandante. Note the driver's arm hanging out the window;-)

And Hugo Chavez wants to turn Venezuela (and ultimately all of South America) into a similar "workers' paradise."

Gotta love em cos they tried a similar thing before...

The two were sent back to Cuba in July after they failed to reach Florida in a 1951 Chevy pickup converted into a pontoon boat.


Hey, 8mph isn't too bad for many boats at sea, never mind a 55 buick..! /images/graemlins/grin.gif
