Thread: When does a Car sound like a Boat....?

I thought that water-injection was considered an extra feature nowadays?

I agree


Might want to check your head gasket there appears to be condensation coming out your exhausts.

A couple of years ago we had massive rains in melbourne, a bloke had just picked up his brand new VW (I think), drove it back to work parked it in the underground carpark which promptly flooded about an hour later. I don't think his insurance company were very happy.

Getting your whole garage and presumably your house flooded must be a real pain, you have my sympathy

got yourself a genuine little Herbie there! Does it shoot out oil too?

So is the car OK? sounds like just water inside the mufflers.

I know that losing the car hurts, but there are more important things in life... such as how'd your shed survive? No major casualties in the tool dept?

Seriously, I hope the cars were your largest losses.

New a fellow went picked a brand new car up dealer tried in vein to get him to do insurance or a cover note over the phone with the insurance company guy refused said he handle it from home drove out the driveway Pacific Hwy Chatswood and was hit by a truck written off.

pitty the poor sap that buys it at auction

The house survived, but only by a few inches or so. It was fairly hairy for a while there during the night.

We were lucky in the fact that both me and my other half had taken the day off work. We were going to go to Sydney for the day, but the weather was so crappy we stayed home.

So, when the flooding started, we were here and I was able to save heaps of stuff that would have otherwise been ruined. Only major casualties in the tool / machine department were 3 dust extractors which were mounted under benches etc, and were just too tricky to get out and up to higher ground in time. Plenty of little things were ruined, and they all add up, but thats what insurance is for.

What we lost was bad enough, but I don't have to walk far down the road and there are plenty of houses that went under. A bloke was washed away down a stormwater drain only a hundred metres away, never to be seen again.

Its all relative, and we are on the road to recovery. Others who copped it even worse will take longer.....

On a slightly more positive note, I might even have my new car by the weekend.....
