"Battered, wet and tired — but triumphant. That’s how Peter Martin (38) said he felt after making maritime history by crossing the Irish Sea in a converted car.Along with friends Carl McConkey, Rick Miles and Mark Farrell, the Bangor man arrived in Scotland on Saturday evening having set sail from Donaghadee Harbour in Sir Tristram.
During the summer, Mr Martin, a lecturer, adapted a Renault Laguna — which he bought for 100 — with foam and an outboard motor for the daring venture, after being inspired by the BBC’s Top Gear programme."
