Anyone for the old joke about "dipped headlights"?......thought not!

 

[SpikyMikey]

Cue complaints that it now handles like a wet sponge......

Dragging a car out still in gear must damage the auto box, still, probably the least of his problems right now!

My money is on this being staged for clicks…

Given that they seemed to hook it up to part of the OSR suspension, I'd imagine it didn't do much good all round. But I'm guessing it's a write off anyway.
What did make me go was the Audi driver who, when trying to restart his drowned motor admitted to a spectator that it's the second car he's managed to wreck driving through deep water.

My thoughts too, it has got bad paint work and has been nicely filmed…

EY05 NNU

Is currently on SORN (should not be driven on the road) and MOT due 15th Dec .

My guess ? not worth putting through MOT due to major fault , so lets make a few quid online driving it (illegally) into a flood .

 

[ALFAitalia]

Or it could have been SORNed after the incident...when was the video actually filmed?

You might have something there, NOBODY can be that stupid. He never even attempted to slow down. You could see how deep it was with the fence just showing above the water.

Ooh, I don't know...

The Audi driver admits this is the second car he has written off in this ford .

What I don't understand is the Mercedes has a pretty reasonable MOT history up to 162k yet the close-up of his mileage shows only around 68k.

There ain't no cure for stupid.

Coming back on the A1 southbound around Grantham was very challenging in storm Babet . I was praying that my pants wouldn't get wet in more ways than one. I was in a long line of vehicles bunched against the central reservation. Low gear, low speed. I made it.

EY05NNU's MOT expires 15th December 2023... will it pass, lol?

So that's why a 2005 E Class has been described as a bit of a barge

That looks like 6803.0 to me, so might be the 'trip' reading?

I seen this on YouTube, it’s not stage literally most people just drive through the deep water and don’t realise the damage it will do. A few smart people look at the water and turn around. Saw a nice R32 golf destroyed in one of the video
