Discovery 'stuck in floodwater'

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9...oding.html

despite there being a very obvious bow wave according to the Daily Fail this Discovery is stuck in floodwater

personally I think the guy is daft for driving through it but its definitely not stuck at the point the picture was taken 2011 D4 XS 305 MY12 - gone but not forgotten

2005 Discovery 3 4.4 V8 HSE Auto Java Black

Looks like he's making progress to me.

He's obviously driven passed the road closed sign thinking he'll make it through... I would have probably done the same.

Many thks as Some very interesting pics , including the land slide behind the houses , must admit don’t think I would fancy being that close

Also what looks like a Bentley driving through the water , yikes , wonder if he made it unscathed without hydro locking the engine

The landslide is not far from me, its a newish build estate and I went to view a house on there which had been cleverly photographed to not show that the it was at the base of the cliff. There was a landslide on the same stretch this time last year too but clearly nothing has been done to due the lockdowns this year and the fact the builder is probably arguing with the council and the landowners over who is responsible for repairs etc. 2011 D4 XS 305 MY12 - gone but not forgotten

A bit like the "house totally submerged" photo that obviously shows a sports/park pavilion.

But it's the Daily Fail so one shouldn't be surprised that they are entirely clueless about anything other than spittle-flecked nationalist rhetoric.
