Was that your drowned facelift Omega on the news?
« on: 10 September 2008, 14:04:02 »
I watched a bit of UK news today. It was about some flooding. Apparently you lucky beggars have had some rain.

The clip showed a procession of cars driving through quite deep water. I thought they were all doing quite well as it was deep. Then it cut to a light coloured facelift  Omega with a few people pushing it through ankle deep water.  Water in gear selector? Who knows? Maybe the answer is to put a rubber glove around it like you used to do over the distributor of a mini back in the olden days! can't imagine it being the ignition system.

Was it you? !!

Still pretty good. I think we are getting the very tail end of the rubbish weather that is sweeping across France and Britain. We still haven't had any rain since Mid May and that isn't good. Temp is 31 outside at the moment.

Here is a link to a weather forecast for Pollenca which is on the island of Mallorca. That part of the island is lovely.

The Air intake on a Traktor is so low down that water gets sucked in when driving through flood water, resulting in Hydrolock, I know it happened to me
Is it similar for petrol engined models as well?

Intake for petrol is just behind the grille, so not too low down.
