That's what I thought..... Even the one who did save his car was faffing about before he did it. Retrospectively, was he taking diff locks off or something?
The other people must have been around, but I guess that they thought it wasn't going to be as bad as it was and that by the time it sunk in, it was too late to risk it
He was letting air out of the front tyres Dave so it was less bouyant.

Is that a wind up, or was he really doing that?!
No winding up from me Dave, he was really doing that. I doubt it was very effective as the tyres still looked too well inflated. They're big tyres. They would quickly become floaty enough to lose useful contact. I think that the combination of closed airtight compartments like the cabin and boot would cause most bouyancy in a saloon car...perhaps the fuel tank too if it was mostly empty. .
Heck - must have had some nerve to take the time to do that before setting off (and full marks to him for even thinking of it!)
he wouldn't have needed to do anything surely - it was bloomin great 4 x4! it could cope with that amount of water!

yeah probably, but you would have thought they'd think "ooh that river is very fast, it's coming over the car park a bit perhaps I should move me car.. " loonies
The ones with cars with irritating faults were probably online trying to find out if this was an act of god or a gift from above..
