Unfortunately late 2010 I had to drive my ute through flood water over the headlights. Not a great feeling, and a lot of cleaning out the next day. Not recommended, but the options weren't good.

Have heard the best way to tackle that situation in a HQ-WB is to do it in reverse.......

Yeah, didn't really think it was that deep. Driven there plenty in the dry, just not in the wet.
