My avtar is water/mud mixture- not sure if that counts?

Here is a picture from last Sunday's Avon Dassett gathering. Estimate the water is around 3 feet deep (i.e. height of my number plate).

note:  not "fording" strictly as puddle splashing, and I was on a pay and play site

I can't keep the same avatar for too long, I get bored easily.  I'm going to change mine now which is going to look really daft when people read back through the thread as my avatar won't be wet at all.  Sorry, what can I say, I've got a very short attention span  :lol: .

Good vid!  Something looks odd at first, but I realised it's because the camera's rigidly fixed to the vehicle, the crew all look as if they're jumping up and down by themselves!

Got to post this one on behalf of BANDITMAN. For some strange reason he hit the water fast and had bent a steering bar on something in the MUD. He had no steering so it was going wrong so he put his foot down to get through it but it just got deeper. At this point he needed a change of underware.

im surprised he attempted it - i bottled it when the cab filled up with water and it was over the bonnet - hadnt even got down to the bottom of the ford either !
This is what it looked like when I pulled up to it
