thank you! the colour is pretty cool, pops in the sun!
Very very nice Grudas
thank you!
I usually swap my cars every year but I'm actually struggling to think of a replacement for the s2000, it's such a fun/special car to drive.

lol I was going to say, seems like people have stepped it up a bit in this thread! Massive kudos!Anyone else remember when most posters had diesel Mondeos?

Took the car to West-super-Mare yesterday on a road trip with my car group.
Car was spotless until some plank decided to do some drifting and burnouts in the sand :/

Very nice Steedie, glad to hear you're using it as intended too 
Man of Honour
Ha just to be clear, although I'm a plank, I was not the plank I was referring to in my post. I was definitely not doing burnouts and drifting on the beach, I was scared enough as it was of getting beached 
Soldato
There are 1 or 2 beaches around Weston where you're allowed to venture onto the sand in your vehicle, often used for general parking too iirc.Brave man, the coastguard in me is wanting to tell you off
Man of Honour
Yeah this one had loads of cars on it already. In fact the main car park for it is on the beach as well. Coast guard was cool and even came along, just to remind us about the tide as there were one or two people who seemed to forget about it
I'd of course be cool too, and demand a go
We (coastguards) wouldn't actually don't anything about cars if they get stuck, sadly we only care about people. Had to watch quite a few nice cars float away whilst being shouted at by the owners for not helping

Dunno why they'd expect your help tbh! They got themselves in that mess and you're not their to wipe their backsides.

On a few occasions where we've been at Polzeath at a spring tide, we've sat on the wall eating chips laughing at people trying to rescue their cars
You'd be amazed with the attitude of some holiday makers, they never cease to amaze me, we had a lady refuse to wear a mask (the local shop requires this) "I came down from london to get away from all that, you can't make me wear a mask" , she didnt have to wear it after all because she was banned from the shop instead

A colleague has a place in Wales and there's a bay where the tide is pretty big. Someone got their GLC stuck in the sand and the tide completely covered it. He had a great picture of it underwater than some snorklers had taken

Would insurance pay out in such an event? Because its a mixture of negligence and nature.
Caporegime
I think the new C-Class is a horrible looking thing. Like a melted marshmellow BUT looks fantastic in AMG guise.
Yeah insurance pay out, generally
That applies to so many things other than motoring these days but also to motoring in general
something that has been reinforced for me with this COVID-19 situation just how many people take very little personal responsibility.Have that in mind any time my Navara is near a beach etc.
already a fair bit of corrosion underneath though no real rust yet... only a matter of time sadly.
