Some typical white van drivers, and what do they say about rentals??
Bloke in the Citroen knew what he was doing though; proper bow wave and no worries. But maybe it got deeper... But a tractor is clearly the answer.
Oh, and a nice Zook, but what can I say about tow anchor choices? Sheesh.

The Mini in this makes me think that my FIAT could still be worth something. Not a Cooper S, sure, but still getting rarer, and mine is still more paint than rust.
I think this will be of interest to some: The auction price is nuts.

What is it about Mercedes Sprinters as it seems water stops them deadQuote:

Edit,...... Ooops, ...It's a Ford Transit, not a Sprinter.
All box vans look the same to me.
There are a lot of Mercedes Sprinters getting about as campers. I wonder if the low air intake limits accessibility to remote areas compared to other makes, and if the van lifers know about it or modify their vehicles accordingly.
My 2wd Sprinter is limited to where it goes due to ground clearance but it goes everywhere I want it to - the intake is 600mm off the ground - in the left guard area so anyone drowning one is pushing them beyond what they are designed for IMO. If the 4wd units are the same, then yes I’d be looking at a raised air intake or modifying it somewhat.
Maybe we could all chip in & buy it for a Xmas Pressie for Ron?[bigrolf]Quote:

Hi Ace air intake and filter is low down behind front bumper, at a guess about 350mm off the road.I rang them once and asked what the wading depth was as its not in the handbook, and they couldnt tell me[bigrolf]
They also have about 100mm of wheel travel so absolutely useless anywhere except on the blacktop.
Have seen some of the new model modded to be 4WD,aparently for mines somewhere.
I believe Rick has one advertising CLINT equipment. Niiiiiiice or what? [bigrolf]Quote:
