Anywhere else flooded? Can drive about 200 yards in either direction from my house before I can go no further..
I went out for a drive at 1.30 last night just to kill boredom and drove through several lakes, and it's done nothing but rain since then.

Fuuuuu ed, I has diesel now. Which means I can go thorough the sea if I wanted too.
And stall and probably throw a rod.

I had a bow wave come over the bonnet this time last year, into the intake, lots of white smoke and very unhealthy sounding for the next few mins, cleared though and all seems grand - bit scared to look at my rods!
Really not the kinda weather I like running de-filtered in though....

None here either as this part of London doesn't flood.
Unless the Thames goes but even then I should be ok.

To be fair it does take a while before it drains and seeps through your matress Swampy

A32 was closed under the M27 this morning due to flooding. Not that bothered me as I was going the other way.

Pretty floody round southampton way , it scared of hitting a puddle and having my engine drink through the cone filter shaped straw.
On plus side, car seems more perky maybe due to nice cold intercooler?
