Yeah, if he gets it running I bet he'll try to sell to some unsuspecting buyer. Salt water flooding is the worst. A partially flooded salt water car, can get up and running fine again. But will start quickly rusting away.

I'm quite facinated by these videos. I've driven through there a few times, it's perfectly fine when the water level is low but I would never attempt it in my car after it's been raining hard and most definitely not if it's like this.

It is not a bright idea in driving through a flooded road. I remembered in late September 1986 my parents had to parked their cars a couple blocks away from our house. The creek near our house was over full of water it went through a few neighbors yards including up the driveways. Luckily my house was affected by the huge puddle in the middle of the street. Even some kids were playing in the water. The water had some gasoline in the water from cars. I did noticed the colors in the water. We were affected by it in the morning when the pump in the basement stopped working overnight. There was puddles in the basement and even my 2 cats couldn’t figured out how to get out of the basement. One cat leaped towards the stairs and the other one that I picked up to carried towards the stairs. Everything was fine after my father fixed the pump. It was heavy rain for couple of days as I remembered. The following week my school had to split the classes for odd periods one day and even classes on the next day. It was liked that. I missed a class or 2 on certain days because I was in vocational school for couple hours in the morning.
Nah it's the drivers that are super thick along with tow truck drivers as well by the looks of it. I think he flattened his battery on the truck as well from what I saw in another video.
@@Iceeeen I noticed that too. That may be the positive side of driving on the wrong side there. No one in Europe wants these crippled cars, so they are cheap.

I would have broken the windscreen and pulled it out by the A post. the car is a total loss anyway.
Wants to try and invest in a snatch block… clearly has no idea of recovery!
I would say the car is total write off and the recovery driver did a really top job 10/10
SHOWS YOU HOW BAD IT REALLY IS WHEN A RECOVERY PERSON MAKES THE CUSTOMER ATTATCH THE HITCH
Serves them right for being so stupid
At what point of the video does the customer attach the cable to the car , it’s the recovery guy that does it all 🤷🏻♂️
Haha that's what I thought, what a bell 🔔
😅😂🤣🔔🔚
Nice to see a BMW where it belongs.
Feel sorry for recovery guy trying to do his job and being filmed by all the vultures
Blue BMW owner's stupidity puts up everybody's premiums. Recovery guy should invest in full length waders.
Sending a beavertail to get that out of there is a joke but fair play to that geezer for getting it on and gone
Yeah moped would have been better. !!
It's over weight now as well
Soon as he loaded it that was my 1st thought must be overweight that surely 🤔🫣
Do you charge others to use your video?
Question: can the drivers claim insurance when it’s their own pigheadedness that caused the damage ?
If he has fully comp yes , if not no
@@Cheiff117 nope, it is considered deliberate damage
@@maht0x ohh interesting 🤔
@mightywatcher5894 Correct.
If the insurance company see this video they'll not pay out a penny!
It is not a bright idea in driving through a flooded road. I remembered in late September 1986 my parents had to parked their cars a couple blocks away from our house. The creek near our house was over full of water it went through a few neighbors yards including up the driveways. Luckily my house was affected by the huge puddle in the middle of the street. Even some kids were playing in the water. The water had some gasoline in the water from cars. I did noticed the colors in the water. We were affected by it in the morning when the pump in the basement stopped working overnight. There was puddles in the basement and even my 2 cats couldn’t figured out how to get out of the basement. One cat leaped towards the stairs and the other one that I picked up to carried towards the stairs. Everything was fine after my father fixed the pump. It was heavy rain for couple of days as I remembered. The following week my school had to split the classes for odd periods one day and even classes on the next day. It was liked that. I missed a class or 2 on certain days because I was in vocational school for couple hours in the morning.
cars must be supper cheap in the UK to destroy them in this way another banger race car coming soon
Nah it's the drivers that are super thick along with tow truck drivers as well by the looks of it.
I think he flattened his battery on the truck as well from what I saw in another video.
compared to others countries nearby cars a couple years old are stupidly in uk. They also seam to scrap them for nothing.
@@Iceeeen I noticed that too. That may be the positive side of driving on the wrong side there. No one in Europe wants these crippled cars, so they are cheap.
Straight to coparts with an unknown electrical problem 😂
