Here's mine.
Taken at the local quarry. It took the guy taking the picture 6 attempts with the camera before he got a half decent picture!

The water got up to the headlights (shown above), which I hadn't realised until I finally got out.
Great fun though

i had this pic taken after i did the BIG bog hole ( see aus 4x4 day out), when i saw the video the splash was over the roof! the wade was over the head lamps, you can clearly see a tide mark!

Go to my garage and you'll see a good 'Syncro wading pic'. She almost drowned out but survived to wade another day

Anyone ever do serious wading in a diesel?
If so, how did the hot turbo react to being submersed in cold water?

The turbo on my landy loved it
TBH, i dont think petrol engines are that suited to wading - too many electrics to go wrong - i imagine all the ones here that have been up to the headlights were diesels ?
This is where i get proved wrong!
