-
I saw it and well, erm. Yeah. I am amazed the fiesta carried on going after JK drove it off that boat and near enough submerged it. The engine was well under water. How that didnt hydrolock I do not know.
-
When is the repeat?
-

Next week it is on at 9pm.

It was quite impressive that it retained traction. Most cars would float at that depth!

Also explains all the tyre marks inside our local shopping centre the other week :lol: Was kinda stumped when i spotted the marks inside the shop :lol:

That is also what I thought and being a loose surface under the water too I would guess. Also explains all the tyre marks inside our local shopping centre the other week :lol: Was kinda stumped when i spotted the marks inside the shop :lol:
I know someone who works in BHS and sneekly hid and watched it being filmed on cctv.
Did the card shop actualy get hit on purpose?
-
whitch shopping please was it?
-
Will have to watch it again to check but the card shop has shutters that open up pretty much right across the front of the entrance so i guess it was staged, I certainly did not notice any damage in passing
Rob -- it was Festival place/Basingstoke
-

-

According to the current edition of LRO the Fiesta was waterproofed by the Marines guys who do the Land Rovers for beach landing craft assaults. They seem to know what they're doing, so that explains why it fared so well!

agree with above,it does say it was MODDED to drive that deep :lol:
