That L almost looks like an E to me. There's a line on the top, and I can kind of see a smaller line in verticle line, but it's below centre so that makes me not so sure..

Heading more towards an L though, lol.

I think it's an L too.

It's very hard to tell - blocky mpeg compression has blured it up a bit.

The captures were off 9HD too - if only they filmed everything in native HD resolution instead of upscaling 90% of content.

I wouldnt want a car that has been swimming, be it in fresh, salt or chlorinated water. There will be parts of the car that will rust out quick as, and I reckon it would need a fair bit of the electrics replaced, as they would all have been working at the time, spreading electrical current. Also, if the car was at operating temp, how would it have gone being dropped straight into cold water... Cracked heads etc? Im just taking rough guesses, if a mechanic knows better, please correct me!

It looks like someone was reading the street directory and maybe told the driver to turn the wrong way, the map books still open on the passenger seat.

Years ago I worked on a car that had been submerged in some floods some 12 month earlier. The driver picked it up at auction.

I got the job of dismantling the interior and replacing the carpet underlay because the owner had decided that the underlay was the cause of the funky smell.

You could tap the window switched in your hand and get droplets of water out of them. There was very fine silt in the dials in the cluster. Water marks on the roof and pillar linings. There were signs of water damage everywhere and the car stank like mould.

I wouldn't touch this with a 50 ft pole - this car is now trouble

Looks like there may be a bit of a water leak in the boot.... (the buff out gag has been used already)

Just imagine in a few years time the owners could charge people to go snorkalling through the GT as if it was a historic wreck.

You're the best of open mic night but rephrased with manmade coral reef, then it could be aired on the Discovery Channel.
