I once rode a Honda 90 through a 4ft deep flood in the road.
Worked perfectly fine

Honda 90s are like work horses though, they never give up. Shame they stopped building them.
Charlie Borman (television bloke) once thrashed one to the point it fell to bits, he mixed salt water and diesel into the fuel, dirty chip-pan oil (complete with chunks of food) in the engine instead of engine oil, he even dropped it off a roof and buckled the wheels, framework and engine block... and it still wanted to keep going.

My old Honda 90 once ran on the wrong spark plugs for ages. I put the wrong capacity in without realising and it ran just fine. I only noticed when the plugs packed up through old age.
Ran it without an exhaust for a while too... was pretty loud.
Used to get 150 miles to the gallon out of it too
Apparently the road I had the 'moment' on yesterday was later closed due to the flooding. I remember once getting completely bogged down in a flood - It was my first car (a Fiat Uno ) and the water had gone over the bonnet and into the engine.

A van driver pushed me out then sped off on a delivery so I was left for an hour drying out spark plugs with a couple of tissues.

The perils of countryside life.

Pulled out to pass a truck on a narrow stretch and when I got half way past we both drove through a massive flood. His spray blinded me and my car started aquaplaning.

I did the only logical thing in those circumstances - floored it.

You rarely feel more alive than after something like that. It's probably something to do with not being dead...
You daredevil!
Hey, can you send some of that rain my way. My yard is a combination of dust and crunchy stuff that used to be grass.

There will be another entry tonight.

Possibly two, but don't hold your breath.
I completely missed this thread.
I've bleached my whole bathroom down... my nostrils are burning.

Could smell a strange rubbery smell when I left the bathroom.

It is indeed. Has been snowing here almost all day. It's just started laying on the ground not too long ago. We have about an inch or so.
ITS SNOWING!!!

If the film's been released and you're talking about it after having seen it, then check Movie Reviews (and start a thread there if there is none). If you're talking about something before seeing it, Upcoming Movies & Sequels.
