I don't think the folks recovering the car care about the welfare of the car, just the ~~shorelines of the £5million footballers houses~~ecosystem of Sandbanks ;)

Post by: Nickbat on 23 October 2010, 21:20:50: How that local hack at the Echo reports it:

"A DRIVER who stopped at the Sandbanks Ferry to pop to the loo returned to see his car rolling into the sea.

We don’t know if it was a problem with the car or an operating error, but the guy is obviously going to be in some inconvenience now.”

..or perhaps he's going to be in some convenience...again, given his history ;) ;D ;D
