Talking about drivers who follow like sheep, ....
during the flood, one went in, then another, then another!

Suddenly the rain came and drivers on the small country lane found themselves having to swim to safety.

Yes, many people follow their Sat Nav's without thinking or seemingly observing !

Features such as sun roofs prove themselves very useful in more than one situation.
:)

I must get some new specs, I’m seeing double Claire :wink:


“I know you’ve been done for speeding Wendle but there’s no need to cry me a river”.

“New research at Mazda’s test centre reveals conclusive proof that cars sink regardless of colour”.

“Did you leave the bath running Doris?”

(On the driving test.) “Take the next right at the duck”

“Look at the bright side Wendle, at least the engine won’t overheat”.

”There’s something very fishy going on here”.

“I wonder if Steve is going to use ‘that line’ again if this ever makes a caption competition?” :lol:

Graball, ..."Tone, this new idea of yours for a combined internal and external car valet , seems to be taking off, mate, but don't you think we should have found a deeper river?"


Tone,..."Yes mate and I think perahaps we should try towing the vehicles through, without the occupants, next time"

1) I could have sworn they said that global warming would make summers hotter and drier.

2) One of London Council's more successful attempts to get people out of their cars.

3) The parking lot outside the Cumbria SCP Submariner's Club.

"When Sean said he had a new business venture in mind, his friends were surprised that his car wash was so well attended!"

"SLOW DOWN... the SPEED LIMIT on Windermere is 10 KNOTS!"

"Apparently drivers were ignoring Highway Code advise to use dipped headlights in poor visibility... or WERE they?"

"This is what happens when you buy a cheap SatNav from the docks at Liverpool!!"

It looked so easy when those Minis crossed the weir in the "Italian Job"

And when the fog lifted, several drivers felt a little foolish for following the taillights of Mad Mick.

Welcome to Wales, camping capital of the UK.

The new Euro Car Flotation safety regulations are proving difficult for some manufacturers to achieve.

Before he came up with the idea of an Arc, Noah tried several different models of car, but none of them proved suitable.

Typical, you don't see a water taxi for hours then they all come at once.

After yet more complaints in Grabsville, and failed measures to slow traffic down by SCSPs, Braaake have suggested introducing sharks into the water as they regard 2 knots as too fast and the wave this vile means of transport creates could disturb barnacles or children who jump into the water without supervision.

A spokesnob from Braaake said "20 is plenty". It was only later, after an interview with a rep from Safe Travel At Logical Limits, or STALL, where it was suggested 20mph might be too fast for the conditions on a canal, we discovered Mrs Braaake meant 20mm per second.

When quizzed further on the matter of "conditions matter" Mrs Brake er Bark, er I mean mean Braaake, had to see 'a man about a dog' in a hurry all of a sudden and was last seen doing in excess of 20mph on the pavement with a complete disregard for other pedestrians, children and wheelchair users...

Mrs Braaake's quite fit really, when it suits her. :D
