    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,,,

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

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

    Again, thankfully no one was hurt.

    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.
