How cute is that.

That's a real man that it.

I could just squidge his cheeks me

That's great

I hope all dad's would do the same!

I hope the water wasn't too deep..

swoonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

lol @ gizmo!

Thats so lovely...did he make it on tie? assuming he can't run as fast as a porsche can go!

He is cute, isn't he.

But I couldn't eat a whole one.

didhefuck

Agreed, that is lovely, but then again, not every man is lucky enough to probably get his Porsche replaced for nothing......

That cannot be real! It must be a PR stunt, no man is that lovely.

I bet he got laid that night!

I doubt it EscapeFrom -he'd be too knackered

16 miles through flood water?

oh purleeeeeeeeeeeease!

16 miles...that would probably be around 2 hours, if he was race fit, wearing shoes and able to run on good ground.

So he was probably only an hour and a half late. And I bet he got asked to do piggybacks, too, when he got home

Are you sure he didn't walk on the water?

A real man would have been in the house helping his wife organise the party.

A real man doesn't risk his life by stunt driving and scare his family witless.

On sky news

Wasn't in time or party, just for the day with his wife and children. Little one's birthday. Took him 2.5 hours.

ah so not on flood water but traffic build up because of local floods

"A real man doesn't risk his life by stunt driving "

yes they do,how much manlier can you get.
i'd say it's a lot easier to abandon a porsche when you're a top gear presenter though.legend of a man.

the things that pass for news

He set off at 3am cos he'd been in the car 12 hours trying to get home.

He made it in time for his wee girl to get up on her birthday

The accident was just that - an accident. part of his job. No more irresponsible really than chosing to be in the forces or something is it?

TBH there were probably lots of abandoned cars. i know there were when the floods hit Sheffield last month. Cars are insured. Just lock them and leave them. It's fine. Loads of people did it here.

I read the title of thread and thought it meant he had abandoned his porsche in floods OF TEARS, and was imagining that he was suffering from PTSD!

"the things that pass for news"

well dont.
bravo.
satire at its finest.
what were you expecting when you read the title?a discourse on modern politics?a critical assessment of the euro and how it might benifit the uk?

meant "well done"
