I was in France during the floods in summer 2007. Had only just got car after 3 month wait for it to come on ship from Japan. Drove car twice before I went on holiday and then when I got back from airport drove car home in dark - splashed through a couple of puddles no problem. Last puddle was a little larger.............. it had happened overnight while the whole village was asleep and I was unfortunately the first victim! Gutted doesn't even cover my emotions! I thought it was going to be dead!
