It was a bit of a giggle... I'll bet Drew was chuffed about filling the engine with water  :oops:

I think my favourite so far was the Toyota Celica they turned into a 50 mph lawnmower :-)

would drew be as unprepared as to clonk out a new bowler on a water run?

isnt the air scoop above the cab supposed to feed the air intake as well as cooling the rad?

The engine was full of water...  you could hear it.

They (as ever) knobbled the 'professional' on the event... in this case they make a 30m long, 3' deep water run to get through.  For their machine (2' ground clearance) it wasn't a problem.   Drew went in a bit quick, made a big splash and sucked water in.  

He was over 1 minute ahead at that point.
