Land Cruiser Car Wash............ Oops

co-incidence, but i was speaking to someone at a xmas party on wednesday who also drowned a cruiser.

His was a diesel - but he turned it off as the water came up the windscreen so the engine was not stuffed (completely).

He also said he got it on insurance. I asked how? He said he told them he left the handbrake off and it rolled into the river...

He got writeoff value of car and bought it at scrape value (from the insurance company) and repaired it all... inside and out.

Must be something about cruiser drivers... showoffs!

ohhh the funny part.......

All the way home the windows buzzed up and down the central locking locked and unlocked and the wipers kept wiping.......

Ahhhhhh love electrics...

Give me an old car anyday.....

How old is it? I gather it has an ECU of some sort, amazing it hasn't wheezed as well

the story.....

Coopers Creek camping ground.... Nov 06
we play here alot and the river has a hole we3 knew about, but due to a river being a river, it changes. The hole is closer now than it used to be. you used to be able to drive right thru there......

And after 1.45 hours we got it going......
next day and many hours of cleaning, drying and oil changing we drove it back to melb.

What got wet............ EVERYTHING, including the headlining

Yes we should have walked it 1st.....
ohh the Big rock on the other side has my name on it, or should i say, Camila's Tailshaft.
