until it rains. I was stuck before a bridge on the way home.

The bridge had flooded and they was a ford ka stuck in the water up to the bonnet on the other side of the road.

I got upto the water and made every reverse as i wouldnt be able to get through it without causing mass damage.

I sat back for a bit took some pictures then went for it when it looked not as bad.

Uploading pics now. ;)

Get as much speed up as you can, turn the engine off just before the puddle and hope for the best.

I know where that bridge is, it's literally 2 minutes away from your house.

Can't believe there was so much rain over there, we have a little over here but thats it. Was that the M1 or M62 mate?

Luke
23rd August 2006, 17:22
Leckies is first MOT aswell, but i know his has done 27k more than mine.

Can't see why it will fail, motorway miles is better.

When i went on holiday to wales once on the way back there was terrential rain and we got stuck on this overpass in Camerthan or something, every off ramp was flooded and it didnt look to deep, we were just about to go into it when this land rover sped straight into it and all but about a foot of the cab dissapeared and he just swam out. Was Pretty funny.

One of my dads mates has one of these off road sealed Rovers as well, got this huge snorkel coming out the side and all the seals are re inforced so he can go proper off road. Also whats with this gay weather in August?

I had the same problem last night, lucky for me my car is not lowered, but it was still pretty deep ! not way round it either, and i was going though it nice and slowly, some twat on the other side on the road in a van decided to go as fast as he could. was not happy !
