himself his wife and 1yr old kid were in the car at the time
they had to climb out the windows to escape as they couldn't open the doors,hence why the windows are down
and yes there is a trailer full of wood somewhere in there
well used to be full trailer ;)

Two things,,, first of all, remind him to take lots of pics during the recovery,,, Petrol or deisel Disco is it?
And, Yes,, the trailer is still full,,, full of water,,,:Rolling:

Poor bugger,, his mrs will probably never want to go out wheeling again, let alone, let him go,,,:(

Whats all the fuse about, just another disco driving backwards upstream

Sorry guys, was my brother inlaw in that Disco, and it got recovered by mates before we could get there to take photos, but have got some after shots I might be able to post at some stage.

Wow - the water level has risen since the first pics!

Again, thankfully no one was hurt.

deserves never to see the car again.

Totally agreed. What an absolute idiot.

ok so here are some photos of the car after it got pulled out. Amazingly they found their wallets and mobile phone which still worked in there.

Didn't he realise that the wife is a portable depth gauge and sent her into the creek before entering with the Disco and trailer

Yeah, I'm after some dash bits from an early D1, and it's local:)
