My mate parked his 2 door mk2 escort 25 years ago he kind off regrets parking it in a pond.

Its often said our old Escorts have lasted longer because of the drier weather and lack of snow. There may be truth in this but if you guys stop parking in swamps you may see some noticeable improvement in the rust department. Im just saying.

I think there are more swamps in Oz than over here.......no Crocs here either

We really dont have that many permanent swamps as such really whereas you guys have peat bogs and the likes. Archaeologists find well preserved bog bodies in them. I wonder if there are any nicely preserved old Ford shells buried in there too? We have some nice rivers and waterways though. Our major lakes only have water in them once or twice in a decade but they still call them lakes for some reason (how silly is that?). On drier summers with water restrictions it becomes illegal to wash your car and water the garden. Imagine in the UK being told you cant get your precious cars wet enough! LOL

 

The crocs are just there to make sure the American tourists adhere to the no swimming signs.

We do on occasion get hose pipe bans in some parts of the UK. Pretty rare though.

Yeah normally after 3 weeks of solid rain, 2 days of sun, hose pipe ban!

We used to have them a fair bit in the 90's but since the millennium most of the summers have been pretty wet (awful in many cases) certainly where I live anyway.

I was thinking of the water ban in 1976 then realised that's four decades ago now!

Ahhh yes 76.... The summer when you could leave foot prints in tarmac , now loose small children in potholes! How things change eh? Hurrumph ! In my day never heard of broken alloys! Cow shit on the lanes yes,! Tell that to these whippersnappers and haven't got a clue what's going on!

What dear? Ah yes ,,,crocodiles? Here Lord preserve us!!

First post photo ,road like that's what we had to drive on all the time when the damp cows had been out, can't see crocodiles making that kind of mess my young antipodean !

 

Now I feel better after that wheelchair trundle down altzhimer lane,
