My imaginary flooded car.

[86JR]

For some of the doubters out there, I have the pics of the car I bought which I lost in the floods in December 2012.

I tell you something it feels awful to have a car taken from you knowing there is nothing you can do to help. When I drove into the "puddle" which was the river in the road, I did so in 1st gear as a previous "puddle" had already taken out my fog lights and the gearbox. I was trying to get to the Shell garage a mile down the road where I could call the AA.

Insurance dealt it a total write off, Police had to cordon the road when it cleared as I couldn't move the car (S-Tronic has built in handbrake).

Gearbox was completely dead, engine was hydrolocked, all the interior electrics were sparking.

Sorry for the iPhone images.

Spoiler

The used car dealership down the road; 2 weeks before it had flooded and the water had come up to the cars windscreens!!! He claimed on his insurance and bought all new stock only for this to happen:

The only other pic I have of it, ironically, is washing it the week before:

I hope this proves that I owned the car. I believe in transparency

So you drove through one puddle which wrecked the car, and then thought it would be a smart idea to drive through another one? Incredible.
If that's the water then why on earth not just drive around it?

Sorry for the iPhone images?

Did you have mayo smeared over the lens?

I can see your photography skills have improved somewhat! But driving through another puddle after already damaging your car in a previous puddle?

Story has some strange similarities to that bloke with the A6...

Would have definitely made it if your fog lights were working

I was caught in the 2007 Floods in my old Rover 220DS, it was only worth about £300 but even then I still wouldn't have driven it through that much standing water.

I'm confused as to why you thought it would be a good idea to do it twice?

The photographs are too small, could we have some larger ones?

I call bull crap on this photo too. Its in focus and the car is almost in the middle of the frame.

 

[86JR]

Ok

 

[Skeeter]

No lights, no foglights, and a broken gearbox from a previous big puddle, yet you still carried on to try to get to a garage a mile down the road before calling the AA? Serves you right then really.

Why would anyone doubt you owned & then wrecked a 07 plate audi in a flood?

I didn't see the water, as my headlights didn't work and there are no streetlamps, all I saw was a "puddle" which 20min before wasn't there. I didn't know it was 2 feet deep and rising.

It is hard to take photographs when you have been in water upto your knees and then stood in the cold rain for 4 hours.

You were driving at 2AM with headlights that didn't work?

I know right? It's not like he said my aventador/veyron/458 got hydrolocked in a puddle.

Begs the question as to why you were even driving the car!

2nd time lucky on learning a big lesson?

What is it with Audi drivers and floods?

 

[Matt82]

Quattro. Go anywhere 4x4 ability.

Should have his license taken off of him and burnt.

Or even stop, get out and check just how deep the puddle is?

I also lost my imaginary flooded car, when I crashed my Pikes Pike Tacoma into a lake on Dirt 3 last night.
