Looks a bit deep in places, must have been interesting. Cant help thinking there's probably crocodiles in there just waiting to grab a passing landrover.....

Some deep spots... and the dope in the Disco did it all by himself.. driving like a twonk...
A TD5 disco had to be recovered from some deep stuff, by a TD200 powered 88".. that must have been embaressing... I nearly went in myself.. but as its petrol I thought better of it..
Although there was a spot behind the mounds in the pic that was a bit deeper that I did drive.. without a missfire.. Think about it.. the spark plugs are not far above the centreline of the wheels...

Well I was going to give the deep bit a go as it wasnt a lot deeper than "behind the humps".. but the wife reckond that It was a bit stupid as we had to get home... so I chickened out.. Should have gone for glory I reckon.. would have been the major excuse to biuld a better engine..

I'll take the panda
A petrol engine can be made to perform under water.. its just a lot harder to do...
Wish I had tried the hill water now too..

some peeps think them things are invincible, probably trying to prove something , then it went wrong, rather than just enjoying and having a laugh

Just a few Simon
Amos in his disco
Unlucky for some, although Clive got through the water and up the hill with ease.
