What a massive idiot, i live 5 mins from this bridge and it floods there badly every year in the winter, that's why there is a depth marker on the bridge and warning signs on the approcah roads.

Everyone knows Porsche's don't work well under water. What he needed was a Lotus Espirit

Im coming that way on the 28th with my caravan methinks a different route , and yes as a regular visitor to the New Forest I know it well

She says (just before the minute marker) that a man is climbing out of his Mazda. With my dodgy eyes it looks like a Hyundai.
Anybody else?

I saw a very brief clip of that on the news last night, I couldn't decide whether it was a Porsche or a TT.

I would say that will be a decent cat C buy for somebody but fk that water is very high.

Have fun, might be a touch on the cold side though. Yes avoid this road, as it passes the Balmer Lawn hotel it narrows to around 8 foot, so can be a squeeze with bigger stuff, best to approach from Lyndhurst.

So the BBC edited out the Range Rover?

If its not fresh water damage then it will most likely end up as a CAT B breaker only

Anyone know how they kept on working? Not being any kind of expert in these things I'd have thought the electrics would have been shorted once submerged like that.
