Yes, I certainly found that out today! What I did find staggering is the number of drivers who think the way to drive through floods is to put the foot down and 'fly'.Yep it is flooded everywhere, if i din't have the D2 I wouldn't be mobile.
Especially bad on the country roads

Not functioning properly today, had a long and sad day but it is over now and I promise to resume normal service - well, as much as I can.

Back road here flooded & old farmer is known to put big blocks in the water. There are signs saying road closed as the wash from the cars floods into his yard & towards the house. Once there is a couple of stuck cars everyone else avoids the lane. All for the sake of saving 1 mile of the journeyAye i had a right arse do that coming the other way, he soaked me car with all sorts.

Some farmer chao called me out to fix his "broken" Ferguson TE-20 aka "grey fergie" which in this case is red
the Flapper had broken off the exhaust and with all this torrential rain, had filled No2 Cylinder with water.
Ahhh!!!
No buildings around so i couldn't tow it undercover, so píssing down with rain plugs pulled out, turn it over and water shoots out.
Plugs back in..
Starts up..
Then it proceeds to shoot a metric **** tonne of milky emulsion out the PCV straight down my shirt.
It had been sat for a good while with knackered rings and water pishing down the bores, it has filled the crankcase with water.
Only when i pulled the dipstick and a gallon of water ****ed out, that i realised.
Turns out it had been sat outside for over 2 weeks!!!
I'm Soaked though to the bone..
And i looked like all kinds of shít
Long'ish hair and rain doesn't mix, that i'll note too..
Love this job.

Mornin' all. It's still dark oot there and it's still rainin'. Only one thing's different - the wee dog picked up 'is pillow, took one listen to the rain, dropped the pillow and went back to bed INDOORS! Says it all.
