Drowned..... ;-(

My 75 and Jumper75's cars have drowned..... ;-) The water level was some 5 feet above the roofs of the cars And the Landy... !!

Both cars were SORN'd and not insured as we were trying to get round to doing some work on both to get them through the MoT...... The wooden steering wheels are apparently salvageable..... along with a couple of other bits. Luckily we had emptied the cars of most things....

The Landy is now working again

..... but the Rovers are FUBAR'd.....

I can't see the pictures Andrew, the server you've hosted them on appears to be password protected

Sounds very sad though

Sorry to hear this but let it be a lesson to everyone with a car on SORN, keep it insured. Both of mine are on SORN but I keep the insurance valid on both

Sad news indeed Andrew - unfortunate that the cars were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Sorry Andrew, awful

That’s a sad site, I’ve managed to view the photos, you must be gutted.

It’s strange but while it’s nice to stay in certain areas we don’t realise until it’s too late when the water starts to rise up to our necks.

Perhaps I’m lucky as I stay in a very scenic area in Ayrshire but being a village surrounded with farms it’s the muck on the road we have to put up with but never flooding like this.
