City folk are wimps

All part of the service when you drive a BMW.

It is OK to put the SES and firies at risk in rescuing them, but they didn't even get their feet wet!

.
What the.......?? The water was only up to the door sills!

And I thought that they were preparing to tow it out with the rope through the windscreen!!

I guess that the SES have their protocols.

A training opportunity for the SES, perhaps?

I'm lost for words .. but good laugh :)))

It looked like they were going to pull it out with string so they wouldn't rip the bumper off. A lot of effort so you don't get your feet wet.

Ahh!, that brings back memories, i lived up the road from there for 50yrs , their lucky the current didn't take them to the right a tad , other wise the beemer would have gone 3mtrs under as theres a large wash out, in the bush there. A mate and i have rescued many a vehicle out of flood water there with a FJ 40 and winch, Its a different breed out that way these days ,it was a big vegetable farming area for a long time, until the developers moved in and The Holden utes moved out...lol.

I noticed the bridge behind wasn't covered so just a trickle to what it can be.

Cheers Axle.

Ah, the SES do a great service to the community but I have also seen them a number of times behaving like Dad's Army. This particular one looked like an exercise at a Scouting Jamboree.

Look like cashed up retired vegetable farmers to me.

Surely a scene from a Monty Python movie...

Not all city folk are wimps, but in this case i have to agree.

I think they were just following the instructions of the SES - looks like the SES had concerns about the car and the occupants being swept away at some stage and provided some type of restraint to prevent this - not wimps at all - unlike country folk, particularly old country folk who ignore advice and instructions and continue to get sweep away in fast water events.

Given that floodwaters can rise significantly without warning, I can see why they took those precautions.

But that little rope didn't look like it could actually prevent the car from being swept away! Perhaps it is much stronger than it appears. :)

It could always be worse ;)
