That’s incredible - I just don’t understand it. The weather was beautiful down Greystones direction all weekend.

tools! What was that guy in the M50 clip doing, weaving around the cones? there could have been anything on the wrong side of those.

Amazed more of them didn’t stall out due to water getting into their engines — even if they’re driving 4×4 chelsea tractors, unless it has a high-level air intake, it can still get into the engine if the water level is too high, or in through the exhaust as the taxi driver was saying.

(Actually I suppose if you drove into a flooded section and that *did* happen to your car, you probably wouldn’t upload the vid to Youtube out of embarrassment
