Don’t ever do this, it is unbelievably unsafe to drive through high water as your vehicle can start to float, rotating and being carried by the current, likely trapping you inside in what will be a rather unpleasant end. And the salt water is not going to do this Mini any favors. But since there’s video and everyone is ok we might as well enjoy.

If it didn’t already have electrical glitches, it likely just gained a few.

It’s a MINI. Nothing of value was lost.

I thought at first it was a BMC/Rover Mini, but I was relieved to see that it was a MINI.

I like the older ones better, and would have been sad if it had turned out to be one.

No MINI/Mini should suffer that torture

Strange, I played the video and thought to myself “looks like Ireland” but I have no idea what made me think that. I’ve been around some of the coast in that area but never in Salthill Galway

Yeah I had to Google it too, but it appears to be the area along the coast west of the main part of the city.

I’m flooded with emotion at seeing this. Mostly shock that it didn’t hydrolock the engine.
