Sad what Muppets can end up doing really.

I guess they didn't know you can raise the suspension to overcome obstacles

Did you watch this one? http://www.funvid.eu/index.php?page=vid ... _id=104115

That's one light car!

From the Tom Cruise film Risky Business:

Ok, so who's the U-boat commander then...?

Possibly done on purpose, as the rear number plate has been removed...

Or taken off for filming to prevent identity...

Brean Sands in Somerset. Happens several times every year - some muppet ignores the warning signs and drives too far down the beach towards the fast approaching tide, gets bogged in water-logged sand and before a recovery truck can arrive, the car's been drowned.

Ha ha, my girlfriends Dad used to make a living dragging people off the beach at Brean sands, had a lovely selection of tractors and ex army trucks especially for it!

Bloody waste of what looks like a good Xant

They could have given it to us

Yeah, at least he could've wound the driver's window up, closed the roof and
the ventilation vents...

I wonder about that numberplate being AWOL - you reckon he removed it to
hide his shame with the local press/bystanders/public p!ssing themselves
laughing at his expense?

Nice colour too.

Not a bad colour is it

It looks like a blue iv only seen a couple of times on the earliest Xantias this was a mk2 do i think ?

Id say he probably took the plates off as a sign that the car was left there to "float" out to sea

and that it was rendered unwanted

It was a series - black bumper inserts and square front wing orange indicators:

wonder what the wheels were as they don't look normal for a Xant. Deffo flooded the engine in the middle pic.
