Good decision, once it gets over 18 inches the side force is too much for most 4x4's, and people insist on going across when its deep. We often walk down for a look as its only down the road from my house. The pub is my local.








There is a Landrover Discovery in this picture below!




Here is it, emerging as the water recedes.

I don't think any have ever worked again. I think the sunroof was the escape hatch!.

I know the guy who owned the white Patrol, it certainly never ran again.

We watched a volvo recovered a few months back and that was a write off as well.
