IDOIT too, but definitely not in a Bentley. I wonder if it is a write-off?

So he won 5Mil and flooded his 100k car?
Bit like a guy making 50k a year padock bashing his $1000 bomb for the hell of it! He can buy another one after 5-6 months just on the interest earnings alone lol... no wonder he is shruging his shoulders saying it is no big deal! Shame though.... one of my all time favourite cars!

Wouldn't insurance foot the bill (provided he's insured) anyway?
Cars are only written off if they're insured |

Ah supercars of the 21st century......
I drove my XY through water at least that deep during the 2010 floods (past two drowned newish commodores) just south of Proserpine. Computers and water don't seem to get along at all....... |

'Robert also has a 1940 Land Rover with a snorkel, which he probably thought he was driving when he went through the floods.'
Not sure how you would confuse the 2 of them

Mmm, ever considered he was sick of the car and flooding it is a quick and easy way to off load it for probably more than he can sell it for...
