I was up at 'Sleepless Paradises' (aka; 'Mrs Johnty') house yesterday & Johnty was telling me about a flooded section that they went through in the 90.
Apparantly as they did & went past an abandoned Yaris, it started bobbing about,as though it was floating, as their bow-wave caught it :lol: :lol: :lol:

those floods look deep. I wish I had gone flod hunting now :-( I live near Daventry so should have been some floods around.
I went ford hunting at the weekend though with 2 mates around north west Derby, Mattlock, Belper area. I thought afterall the rain they were going to be fun. Nope. all were about 0.5ft deep. Only just got the wheels wet!
blackbob:
had flooding here a few years ago and i had a renault 25 just took the air filter off and drove through ok but the merc behind me killed it dead
forward planing always helps
when the lewes caffyns landrover dealer got flooded the put the new cars on the two post ramps but they floated away
sorry for those that have lost all there stuff and hope there insurance pays out quick :cry:

I bet it was a company car.
Nobody in their right mind would take their own motor into that.... unless it was an insurance scam.
Where abouts is that road ? I live at Chapeltown and it's been quite bad around here too

I drove this road (who says you don't need a 4X4 for the school run).
It was about 6 inches over the bonnet.
The orange van moved in the bow wave.
