Idiot. I guessing that cost him a lot of money to fix, if water got into that engine. Hopefully just killed the electrics. :oops:

Well the insurance won't be interested, that's for certain!
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

Its the ford at Rufforth in Nottinghamshire..sadly due to muppets like that its now closed..it was a great way to do underbody car washes...

Became a spectator sport event..people would turn just to get stuck..
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…
A very modified Atacama Yellow 35is :thumbsup:

Amazing thing with these is, car stops running, car restarts and you hear the engine destroying itself. Car gets towed out, owner lifts bonnet, removes air filter, wrings water out attempts to restart car :)

This one is a peach :o

Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.
