Thats the first time i thought that maybe a snorkle of some description may have helped. Im definately going to re-designt my air intake.

I would like to formally apologise to everyone for the afternoons events. I should not have attempted the "swamp" crossing when i didn't have to and i knew it was too deep for hatchie.

I know we have all been here at some oint or another but i feel real bad considering it was never meant to be an offroad trip to begine with. We have learnt to expect these things on our usual trips but not on a BBQ cruise.

Im sorry to all.
And hatchie im sorry. I can feel a water fobia coming on.

That's okay Dave we all hang around when this happens cause we want to anyway

You'd do the same for any of us.

Just hope to see Hatchy fighting fit again asap!

8O 8O 8O Holy crap!..... Dave thats seriously bad Karma. What sort of damage did it do?

SuBaRiNo · Post by **SuBaRiNo** » Mon Oct 10, 2005 9:20 pm

Damage is... engine is a write off... the car smells like a swamp... and im still not sure on the verdict of my stereo amp. Damage bill is about the $800 mark im guessing.

Time to relocate my amp im thinking.

if your going to fill it with water on a regular basis its best not to have it! :P
Have done similar in the past but not killed an engine in the process. Streuth....

Dave
I helped a mate that swamped his Landcruiser the other day. He just had 6 bent conrods, water doesn't compress very well. We were able to repair it with the motor still in the car, just replaced the conrods & honed the bore. The car ran as good as gold after that.
Maybe thats all you have to do?

I'm sorry I missed the trip. It sounds like fun. My pc had a major crash, then this site went down so I didn't get the info on time. Maybe next time?
