Mine couldn't - drove through a deep puddle on Sarn Helen and nearly conked out!

You should have prepared it properly then :lol: :lol:

Just reading this and being sad cos I'm selling my V8 :'(
The sound is awesome and the acceleration out-of-this-world for a bug truck.
However, they can 'wade' if properly prepared.
I've taken my snorkel-less one up to the headlights whilst laning recently on a river crossing.
The best prepared one I've ever seen is one built for Skippy by Chris Straw (Doodlebug) and his lad Ben. It was the mutz! They'd fully water-proofed it and extended the coil, relocating it into the glove box!
Watching Skippy's V8 tackle "The Bog of Doom" at my dad's farm, almost half way up the windscreen in water / mud - it was awesome!
