same thoughts here.

That's a girls car, so it probably belonged to his missus. That would explain why he was stupid enough to drive through a lake!


Might be no harm to block out the license plate though.

I bet he'd love to see it though!

If it's up past your exhaust pipe, you know yer fecked.
Nice picture. The amount of rain nearly looks like noise. It must've been really pelting down.

Still don't understand why he didn't drive on the grass...

Oh right, you mean telephone cables that don't send their signals in electrical form :rolleyes:

Stephen

Electrical cables will be carrying a hell of a lot higher voltage than phone cables. Rather more dangerous.

Do you avoid wearing polyester clothes too, in case the static might kill you? Safety first!

I realise this is off topic, and may Fajitas! forgive me BUT...

you're all tragic. The car is a BMW, it is clearly a BMW, and not a Citroen. Jesus Christ was is wrong with you guys? It may be a small BMW but that doesn't make it a Citroen.

OP, great pictures. I am sick of the rain now.

My understanding was that challengemaster said his car had adjustable suspension, implying that, that was a positive thing.

Rickyt tried to negate that positive, by reminding challengemaster that his car was a Citreon. Implying that, that was a bad thing.

Could be totally wrong now.

That's how I read it as well.

Ballyman

And so did I!

Calina

Well the way I read it was "your car may have adjustable suspension but the car [in the pictures] is a Citroen".

ricky's going to have to clarify now.
