mrmoshe Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Spider and the underwater car AN ITSY bitsy spider caused a whole lot of trouble for one car owner when the eight-legged offender scared the driver, resulting in the sinking of his vehicle in Pittwater. The driver stopped his Mazda 121 at Rowland Reserve near the boat ramp about 8.20pm on Monday to enjoy the view. He told police a spider startled him and started crawling across him in the car. Northern Beaches crime manager Dave Walton said the driver then jumped out of his car while it was not in gear. “The car rolled down the ramp and quickly sunk under the water. “Police attended and assessed the situation and there was no danger to anyone.” The car is likely to stay submerged until the driver’s insurance company assesses the damage. Det Insp Walton said a brightly coloured marker had been placed on the submerged car to alert other boats in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way they're copping our money and refusing to pay up these days I wonder if there's anything in the fine print about motor vehicle damage due to a fear of spiders not being considered as an insured event.

Hodgey Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 What size ETEC would you recommend for a Mazda 121, Ross? Hodgey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelican Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 The millitary one that runs after being underwater is the obvious choice. I think the were 50hp and 150hp (guess) as choices so definately follow the Top Gear lead and put twin 150hp on. If it is one of the jellybean models the hull shape upside down wouldn't be to bad either. Poor bugger - you wouldn't plan that would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
