    Anchor brings up BMW - and driver



    A Dutch sailor weighing anchor in Austria's Danube river dialed 999 when he hauled up a BMW car - with the dead driver still behind the steering wheel.
    The captain of the Dutch riverboat Janny had stopped near an hydroelectric power plant and had lowered the anchor, say police in Ybbs.
    But when he raised it, he brought up what was once a brand-new BMW company with the corpse of the driver still in the driving seat.
    He was believed to be professional driver Herbert Mistelbacher who vanished without a trace in March 2007 and has been reported as missing ever since.
    Captain Martin Mannak Holl said: "We thought the anchor was slow coming up and had snagged on something - and then it came up with a car attached to the end.
    "It was a bit of a shock - especially when we saw the body inside."

    well that proves a point, all that dur tecknick, abs, esp, asr, srs, yaw , ying, yang, heated mudflaps, powered assisted ashtray etc is a total waste of time and effort.

    Might as well have been driving a Morris Minor with points, drum brakes (single line) and a dynamo.

    As it's an 07 car does that mean he has a valid warranty claim?
