    What a horror story Read that yesterday Wul. Seems a bit daft driving through water that deep at that speed though :sleepy: To water lock his engine he must have scooped up a hell of a lot of water

    Big Gordy - have a look at the Borders run page in this very website! GAJ's effort was of particular prowess!

    Just remembered something Scots would not have that problem with the water because our water is SOFT So it will squash better if it got in the engine :clown::clown:
