Six Cylinders Motoring Notes - Call me a wuss if you like!

[Six-cylinder]

Today was the Lancia Gamma Lunch at an Italian restaurant near Aylesbury. A little disappointing because of a very poor weather forecast only one Gamma, while past years 7-8 Gammas have attended. I did not help as mine does not run well so I took the Seicento.

Love the coupe, not so much the style of the moderns.

This morning I was taking the Mazda 323 to my favourite garage for a MOT and a check over when I encountered a flooded road, with an abandoned car. I know the road and thought that is only a few inches deep, but knew I would be in big trouble with Mrs6C if I took it into the water and it hydro locked so turned around.

For the return journey I collected my Range Rover from MOT and service. Knowing it has a 900mm wading depth I went back to the lane to play in the water.

Was the urge to put the Range Rover tyres in the water the same as when I was a child in welly boots!

You'd put the Mazda into a pothole that wasn't there last time you drove the road that's now fully hidden and drop 2ft below the intake line and kill it, good call to not I think 👌

You got the tyres wet anyway! I’m reporting potholes every day on my commute this week. Last Saturday had five cars stopped with burst tyres/ broken rims on the a319 outside work because of a very sharp and deep hole hidden in flood water.

OK, "Your a wuss".

Most sensible - no point in wrecking a car in floods.
