And I thought billing was deep - Check this out!!!!
thermidorthelobster:
Just watched the video...
1) They're doing some fairly chunky stuff there! Even the concrete step at the beginning looked quite full-on to me.
2) If you want a go-anywhere vehicle, you need a tractor, judging by the video.
3) Watch for the bit where the JCB driver lowers the bucket onto the guy's foot!
4) It looks like they experienced the "floating Discovery" syndrome I had in Iceland - got a bit out of depth and then drifted off into the really deep stuff.
5) Pity the guy who had to attach the rope to the recovery points, 6 feet under muddy water...
6) Part of the problem getting it out was as it came out of the water, there was a couple of tonnes of water in it, trying to pull it back in. If they'd been able to open the back door, life would have been much simpler - it looks like the central locking had locked, so they couldn't open anything.
7) It looked structurally in quite good shape after being dragged out - the doors all seemed aligned OK. Given the way it had been heaved around, I'd expected it to be a little bent by the end.
Well, I don't think I'll be entering with the TD5 next year...
Andy the Landy:
that'll give 'pritch' something deeper to aim for :shock:
the loon:
theres something deeply wrong about this lot.
Why drive a disco into water that you need a life raft fitted on the roof for?
but then again why the hell not.
Dont think I would of quite gone that far though
Maybe he was trying to set himeself up as his own independant island to get away from all the anti 4X4 bobblehats
Bush Tucker Man:
Given the amount of water & the location, I wonder if anyone got a pair of Concrete wellies?
robbie:
erm.... isnt that a waste of a good disco...
Mind you, apparently it was a similar situation that caused my Dad to be captured in the 2nd world war, in Italy too!! He did a little excursion over a small stream, saw some Germans, tried to retreat but it had been raining and turned the 'stream' into a massive flood river..... got caught by the enemy and spent 3 months in camp....
Maybe he stalled it crossing a 'stream' :shock:
