Saw this on Chanel 10 news tonight.
Very happy ending for all, except the car that is.

I heard apparently she was drunk and on her phone before driving into flood waters.

I get a little annoyed when some people win "Hero" awards for doing what seems very little but this was definitely worthy of a "Hero award", he put his life in danger for someone he didn't even know.
It reminded me of the young Asian guy up here in QLD who pulled a truckie from his burning truck last year, climbing over the front of it wearing only shorts, t-shirt and thongs - he actually lost one of those thongs in the rescue; not sure if he got an award but he sure deserved it (a new set of thongs at the very least).

A follow-up on this story.....
Not only was she drunk, she had stolen the car!
The real owners lost everything in the flooding too.....
The good news is that a bunch of local MX5 owners have come to the rescue, have retrieved, and are undertaking the huge task of restoring the car to be returned to the owners.
You can follow the thread on it's progress over on ClubRoadster.

Because she stole it and had probably never dropped the top before
