To the guy who said "drive it out": Hahaha! Yeah right - all the electronics are screwed and the ignition is electronic... even after it was towed out of the water it wouldn't start, wouldn't recognise the electronic keyfob, and the dash and sat nav were flickering wildly. No chance of driving it anywhere. In fact, no chance of towing it anywhere either as we couldn't release the steering lock so in the end they put it on a flatbed. To the guy who said "looks a bit old for festivals": Cheeky git

Oh - and yeah, the insurance seems to be covering it just fine so that's a major bonus. It's going to be a write-off though they say, so no worries about any of you picking it up in the second hand market :-)

It must be a major upset to you but it appears you are looking on the bright side so that is good. Well done!  What will you replace it with?!

Welcome to PH. A TVR would be a good replacement, no muddy fields though.

Glad to hear you insurance company are helping you out.
