Yes, the in car cameras are great - I've ordered a BlackVue 400HD, but the images they reproduce can be a bit of a double-edged sword sadly - should one decide to publish them.

Met a mate of mine last night. He's got a Defender TDi with a snorkel. Arrived with a grin on his face. Flooded railway bridge with huge traffic jam. He just cruises through with the water half way up the windscreen.

In a Defender I bet he got a wet arse

I suspect so. He remembered, just in time, to close those little vents under the windscreen, but his battery was swimming around in the seat box.

i would have to question that.... the days of everyday Land Rovers doing that are gone, I had an ex army series 3 everything was sealed, all the electrics etc so was fine in deep water, brakes did not work afterwards though....

Surly modern vehicles, with or without snorkels have too many electrical sensors, etc for them to get wet and continue to work OK....   I accept that vehicles can be waterproofed fully for specialised use.....

  I thought as much.

Yep, the engine in this one doesn't use anything more exotic than clockwork. Certainly no electronics.
