    Most of us have played a game of ‘truth or dare’ that’s gone a little too far, but I don’t know anybody who has driven their car into the sea and then flogged it for R500.

    Enter this mystery man at Shelly Beach, on the KZN South Coast, who ploughed his green VW Golf MK 1, with Free State licence plates, into the water in front of the Shelly Beach Ski-boat Club around 1PM on Monday.

    Here’s the Citizen:

    …local Ski Boat secretary Brenda Johnson confirmed the bizarre incident happened on Monday.

    “Somebody came running into my office and said there is a car in the bay. When I went to look, the car was floating and the man was standing there giving people the thumbs up, indicating he was not injured or in distress.”

    Let’s have a gander at the footage that was captured by the Ski-boat Club:

    According to a report on the South Coast Herald, the mystery man’s mates had promised to buy him a new car if he drove the old one into the sea.

    They sound like an interesting bunch. There was a further twist, too:

    Local boaters responded quickly and recovered the salt-damaged car, pulling it up onto the ski-boat parking bay.

    Once the vehicle was parked the driver sold the car to two tow-truck operators for R500.

    “Once he had been paid, in front of police, he left the scene,” said the bystander.

    But before the two tow truck operators got away with their salty deal they were stopped by Ray Nkonyeni Law Enforcement.

    The officer noticed that the vehicle had no licence disk and had to confirm whether the vehicle did in fact belong to the man who drove the car into the water.

    The vehicle was towed to the Road Traffic Inspectorate pound in Marburg by the new owners. Law Enforcement officials are conducting their investigations and will make contact with the driver and presumably the new owners as to the outcome.

    So close, yet so far.

    Part of me hopes that the mystery man gets away with this, and those chaps above score a vehicle for R500.
