That’s hilarious. The BMW estate reminded me of this.

That one should have had no problems though. Why buy a 4x4 if you're afraid to use it to get you where you need/want to go?

To be fair I doubt they included all of the cars which stopped and turned back. That wouldn’t make particularly interesting viewing.

I think that there might be other videos to watch

On the day of the referendum we had a biblical storm over a one hour period, there were at least two cars that got water locked going through this - despite residents putting cones at each end of the flood.

Some of the drivers had terrible technique for driving through water. And they should have checked the depth before entering.

1980s Lotus V8 engine.  For anyone that doesn't know, it was called the Type 909 engine and a one off and had 335bhp.

I took this photo of it in the Etna many years ago.

Going back I see it's an oval track Indy racer. Still odd wiith the tires (shaved tires on left side of all tires).
