Jake, Little Britain would be cool :)

Salt water will destroy it in months, seem someone dunk a Pajero up to its doorhandles and about 6 months later bits started to fall off despite washing it off. Theres a disco in our local scrappy thats had the same treatment and hasa corrosiion tide mark up to a foot up the doors, below that theres little metal left.

Surely though, if you had a feild you could temporarilly put a hole in it?

would they allow the pond at billing to be used for this event,or maybe the jet-ski pond as that one already has fuel deposits in it

No good billing is already sorted out. I will not be going in the series....to far for the old beast... Its got to be up here somewhere....

If you think about it would you drive over 100 miles to drive into water up to your neck and then drive home.....NOOOOOO

How about catterik army camp got a nice lake on the training ground and army trucks use it to practise fording there should be some nice deep parts in it for you and if its for charity the mod will probley let you do it (good press etc). And its not that far above you

Never been myself, but from other club members piccys (PLCUK.co.uk) there appears to be deep ditches of water down on Salisbury Plain!
