  1. it's the April meet of the DOC at Newlands Corner tomorrow, most people arrive around 11 am onwards. Quite fitting that it's on April 1 with the current weather, but might just cleaning up nicely by then, can always go in the rowing boat/car as a last resort.

  6. For German made car drivers.:D
     
  7. Perhaps we should apologize for the depth of water levels.....;)
     
  8. If you have watched a little of the Rufford Ford clips on you tube, you will see that sometimes it’s the depth of the water and sometimes the inability to drove through water.

    As a mate of mine found out in his 4x4 Sierra………boom went his engine after ingesting water from a deep puddle.:joy:
     
  9. If your air intake is positioned at a very level, your just screwed in my book.!
     
  10. My bike is still covered in shite since the last attempt at a road ride.....:eek:
     
  11. Shocking.

  13. just woken up to all these remarks and chortling to myself, could go in the car I suppose, haven't checked for general flooding, I bet the Mole at Leatherhead is high.
     
  14. have you got intake snorkels on all your Landys Pete?
     
  15. cryptic joke that doesn't quite work: – what's the difference between a giraffe and a car driven too fast through Rufford Ford??
     
  16. The landie has aquaphobia,;)......the intake is high on the rhs front wing, so not a problem you're gonna get wet pants before the engine expires.
     
  17. You don’t drive a giraffe you ride it?

  18. the car's engine bores suffer from hydraulics
     
  19. Bent my mates con rods cost a fortune to repair, can’t recall if he successfully claimed from his insurance.
     
  20. that Ford flood footage was very interesting for me, through the many breakdowns you can here people go to restart and think they hear something resembling a flat battery.. if only they had just let it stay stopped and then taken the plugs out.
