Peugeot 406 Submarine

[Welly]

Perhaps we'll be called in as expert witnesses?

[highlander]

Only to be given "contempt of court" charges on account of pissing yourselves laughing at the defendants

Looks black in all the pictures I've seen

It's definitely blue in the pictures, but on closer inspection it's the camera mucking up the shot - the roof rails are also blue when they should always be black!

Don't mention it (Herald Scotland)

I also came across this(appleowgeys for Babelfish almost translation)

Disagree Steve - I think the translation's at least as funny as the rest of it


Regarding the D8/D9 discussion, are we sad, or what

[stevenlizuk]

I have local knowledge of the area and I'm wondering how they are going to recover the car from the canal?

I was unlucky enough to live in Winchburgh for 18 months and these guys must be held in genius status by the rest of the locals.

I wonder if the car even belonged to them?

[Welly]

I was wondering, I can see that you'd fairly easily be able to plop down onto the Ice from the toe path but Canals aren't usually dead level with the toe path so how would they have got out anyhow?

Recovery will be very interesting indeed! and very expensive - perhaps a huge crane to enable the reach?

[highlander]

Make the culprits pay for the recovery of the vehicle

Make the culprits pay for the recovery of the vehicle

They'd have to rob/mug/burgle a lot of people to pay that!

Funnily enough it looks blue on the big lcd monitor at Stuka

the firemen of Salleles-in Aude paid a vibrating homage to the courageous gesture of young the 16 year old schoolboy

Eh?

Regarding the D8/D9 discussion, are we sad, or what

But we're the owner's club, so it's in our nature to be sad when it comes to a 406 It wouldn't be the same if it was a BMW or something (well, not to the majority of us anyway )

[peugeot406rapier]

well if its a W reg surely its a D9? also if you read the Sun they have said its a peugeot 307 lol! and i have just bought a D9 estate 7 seater yesterday (pics up soon) and the ariel is at the front and judging by the sun's photos it has a shorter ariel so i think its a D9 we will just have to wait until they fish it out!

[steve_earwig]

It is a D9, it occurred to me the aerial is still on the front on early ones, hence working out the numberplate and search for it on DVLA.

Come to think of it, I've ever seen a black D8...

I wonder if they escaped through the back door - that would make it a 7 seater

[peugeot406rapier]

haha! i wonder what bits would be salvagable? if any? lol ive never seen a black D8 in the flesh but i found one on autotrader
