Why would you even attempt to drive through there?? I wouldn't even do that with a modern car, common sense would have to take over. For me the driver deserves a

And wtf are they doing leaving it there?!!! I would have pushed it back the way I came pretty sharpish rather than leave it sat in that filthy water. Some people have more money than sense and as a result have no respect for the true (non-monitary) value of the things they are lucky enough to be able to afford.

Edit. You wouldn't have to move it far, 3 or 4 feet backwards would have left only the wheels in the water, even if alone there are two other people there who could help. doesn't deserve to own that car

Perhaps the tt was trying to get close enough to the water depth marker to actually read that it says " 2ft "
You really should have gone to SpecSavers

Which got me thinking.
Sequential/auto gearboxes. What's the chance that they are going to let you engage neutral at a time like this?
Think I'll stick with a Manuel (sic) thanks!

I'll offer a tenner to take it off his hands and fix it up. What an absolute moron though..... I took my Vantage on an extra 40 mile route Sunday to avoid and potential shallow floods in Wales, if I owned that it'd have been parked on an ark somewhere....

A bit daft driving through an actual flood, but nice to see them out being used! Barring 4 days of snow boundness, mine has been out and about every day! Admittedly I don't own a DB5.. but still, kudos for not waiting for a warm sunny day, anyone can do that
