:facepalm2:

okay we know the Scooby is rally bred but looking at the depth of the water I wouldn't say OPPS I would have said more like STUPID...

if it was a sti it would have made, honest. . . .

If it was a spec c it would of floated :)

If it was driven through it the correct way, it would of made it.

This. The waters barely up to the exhaust level, so it's miles off the intake.

And then the Toyota drives through to rub it in a bit lmao

Best Toyota add ever.

I've been though deeper water than that!

I think that's user error :)

wonder what damage he's done?

no doubt the insurance company will write it off...

I presume he didn't hold revs in a low gear consistently

Well it is a hawk isnt it ! Lol bad place for hg issues though ill agree

Much to his pride for being a knobber :D

Just too much speed... He's pushed the wave in to his intake.

Could of also had a bung missing from the floor or bulkhead near the ecu if there is one in that area

Atleast he has some mudflaps installed. :D

So out of interest, what's the best way to traverse deep water such as this?

2.5? Probably the best thing for it to be honest

Slow and steady.

Tbh the best way is to reverse and choose a drier route - failing that as stated go in slow and keep throttle steady , in all honesty with a scooby air intake in the place it is if you hit the water fast in the first instance youre probably gonna have trouble ,, ive waded loads in 4x4s etc but even then and with snorkles it doesnt take much water mixed with electricity to cause severe issues either immediately or in the long term
