Post by: landy4x4xfar on June 26, 2007, 17:15:49: hi all rob here yes its me :oops: im am fine all well just wet

the story for my sinking is this
i was taken people though the water not as deep as photo shows as i was driving through a young girl 17/18 years old was trying to cross the road / river was having a panic attack while on the phone and try to hold her a-level papers from collage i stopped ran to her gabbed her before she went under and carried her to the bank the water came up in just under 5 minuets from the rear and lifted the truck up front end down and stalled tango disco the rest is history that's me under the bonnet seeing if water was in the air box and was clear at that time but the starter motor was stuck later the water as see from another photo on sky or bbc was over the engine

oh and as a foot note even the devil duck didn't help the little sod swam off when my back was turned the little *******

Post by: narked on June 27, 2007, 00:10:27: Ooof, sorry about that mate.

Thought it was you! We had Sky News on this morning, and they went to the cameras in the helicopter, looking down on a bright orange Disco commercial. I told everyone "I know who that is!" and got funny looks. Didn't think there were many commercials about in that colour ;)

Hope it turns out ok mate.

Post by: crazymac on July 05, 2007, 09:16:11: Hope you managed to get all the kit off it? Insurers are a B to get things like that back off them, especially the vehicle itsself!!!

I had a truck write of my series 2a, and the unsurance wanted to take it for inspection, I told them to sod off and send an inspector down here! they did that and we agreed figures, I bought it back from them after they wrote it off and still had a cheque for Â£1500 in my pocket! :wink:
