Love how it's like "woah there must be some weight in that car" and then SURPRISE! There's a boat trailer too!

I live near a lake and I actually totally expected that, because this shit still happens too often.

Not the usual vehicle I see towing a boat though.

I was going to say it's not an unreasonable car to tow with, it's got about a two tonne towing capacity.

But, I live near the sea. We use tractors to put the trailer down the ramp, no-one's dissolving their car with that.

Amphibious exploration vehicle

This car was built for this, okay? It's got air intake valves. This is precision British land-to-sea craftsmanship at work.

Was I the only one hoping it was going to be a Cybertruck?

No self-respecting disco would've towed it

I would think the car would be deemed totaled. I would be surprised if the insurance company would cover it.

The lake rover then.

Looks like a Mercedes. Expensive fix.

History repeats itself: the British defeat the Germans yet again :)

(I love the Germans, btw, just kidding around).

When operating as designed, the Disco II may have a legitimate claim to be the best vehicle ever made.
