Adam Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Its mental here like! I was meant to meet Kam and the road i was on flooded, i was stationary for 2 hours! The police took the central reservation apart so we could do a 'u' turn. My grannies house has got 2 inches of water in it and its about 2ft from road level so you can imagine what the street is like. I have never seen Newcastle and the surrounding areas like this, crazy ****! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliecjno1 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 i know it cant be good for it but i havent got much of a choice - the lupo can officially make it through a flooded lane 1ft odd deep and survive lol, though it was going to float away at one point because steering was non-existent but there we go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Really? It's been nice all day here, not a spot of rain. There's a huge puddle on the golf course behind my house, so I wonder if you got what we had during the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Well the whole of Cramlington is flooded, its never happened in the 32 years my dad has lived here. Tryed to get out earlier and it took 20 mins to get to Bedlington. Then took 40 mins to get back in. I stopped and video'd the river Blyth at Hartford, i'll post them up later. I was supposed to be going accross to Carlisle tonight to stay at Matt's but the A69 is closed, also the A1 between Morpeth and Alnwick is closed. 2 miles down the road is Dudley which as far as im aware has never flooded, tonight its under around 2-3 feet of brown pooy water. Nice!All last year I watched the news thinking thank god I dont live on a flood plane, now places that have never flooded before are under, but I still live on a fairly big hill. So pleased my cars not going to get ****ed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really dont want water getting in there!Not sure where it is on the GTi though, its in the wheel arch on the TDI so thats fine. Really? It's been nice all day here, not a spot of rain. There's a huge puddle on the golf course behind my house, so I wonder if you got what we had during the night.Phil, you must have got up late! Was pouring down this morning, well early morning. Other wise yeah its been really warm! No flooding at all round here, few fields flooded off the A19, but nothing much.So, there is an advantage of living in Hartlepool after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Phil, you must have got up late! Yeah, I did! I know it was lashing down all last night, and there's a massive puddle in my garage but that always happens because it's gay.Maybe this means you northern folk will get a break from the rain tomorrow though...

Max Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 She got a little damp. I left it on the pub car park for about an hour; came back to this! The water rose a little more but there was nothing I could do, just had to leave it. Insurance assessor is veiwing it today and will probably write it off. Although I love this car, I'm just glad it wasn't the vx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB1.0e Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 During the bad weather last summer I got stuck at work, one of the car transporter drivers that worked for us put the Lupo on the back of the truck and carried it to through the floods and past all the drowned cars left me feeling very smug. Spent the next few weeks check any cars that arrived at work for evidence of flood damage on behalf of one of the customers. She wrote off thousands of pounds worth of cars simply because there were a little moist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
