I'm guessing that there would not be much that a wrecker could flog it would there?

I hope they have a good pool filter..
Surely they could flog of things like the brembos etc? Those external parts get wet all the time.. Though I suppose chlorine/salt isn't healthy. |

The drought is really making it hard to clean our cars, I salute this dimwitted pioneer for his relentless pursuit of new and innovative ways to keep the Blue Oval shining in all it's glory.

Sad Sight to see. If the owner was being reckless, then I have no pity for them.

I think it's an L too.
It's very hard to tell - blocky mpeg compression has blured it up a bit. The captures were off 9HD too - if only they filmed everything in native HD resolution instead of upscaling 90% of content. |

pull interior out to dry, replace all blown fuses,drop sump pull rocker covers and plugs,spin it over after fresh oil,send body to panel shop,then refit all components and away he can go again, why would he write car off if no insurance cover?.
looks like the wood all floated in while car was in pool as windscreen only has a few stars on it, very lucky.
