Rob (F6) Member 90 Member For: 19y 2m 1d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 14/08/07 03:21 PM Share Posted 14/08/07 03:21 PM You know the recent floods over in the UK?Well my sister in law was telling my wife about her commute in her Vitara 4x4, which went something like this:Went to drive through underpass under railway line, had standing water so didn't risk it..Drove up a few more junctions, tried again, this underpass was flooded as well.This time, though, someone coming the other way decided to give it a go.Turns out the water was deep - sufficiently deep to leave to car floating helplessly.So my S-I-L gets her phone out, wife asks, "What , to call the police?""Nope, had to get a photo of that before I turned around and went back home!"

Nothing like a big heavy EL fairmont with an LSD and a car load of mates to get you in a bit of strife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
