Default Whoops..........

Drove to Mum and Dad's tonight, drove up their lane and put the S2 into the scenery.......... Just as well I was going slowly, I half spun on to the grass verge and was able to get myself off without any difficulty........... I had spun on mud and stones that had washed off the fields in all the heavy rains that we have had today............

I went back home even more cautiously on the way home and drove into a lake errr.........well........ I sort of go the car stuck on the verge trying to get round the flood.............

I waded out, walked home havig gotten myself wet and absolutely perishing cold and wet, phoned my old man told him what had happened, got my Land Rover out, picked him up and towed the car out........... Bugger me it didn't half take some tugging before it came out............ Got the Honda home, but I have not had the chance to check it over yet...........

Here's to hoping that there is no serious damage.............

Here We Go Again is a short-lived sitcom that aired on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) in 1973. The show, produced by Metromedia/Bobka Productions, ran for 13 episodes.

Must be November again.

I'm sure an S2000 on winter rubber's very capable.

On standard tyres, they're NFU off asphalt.

I'm sure teh car will be fine!

The engine didn't suck any water in did it? If it did DON'T TRY AND START IT!
I could tell you a story about me and my floating Corsa as to why engines can't drink water.
