Smurfn and myself decided to take a run up to Gloucester today for a drive and a photoshoot. Had an absolute blast up along Bucketts Way through Stroud and out to Gloucester

Great roads

Stopped at the township of Gloucester then went out and did some photos.

Undoubtedly, the highlight of the day was hooking through here...

(HUGE thankyou to Smurfn for taking the camera duties so I could get some shots of Obsession

)

Cheers

I wasnt very deep, probably 5 or 6 inches. Smurf makes it look SERIOUSLY deep though

Cant say I was that brave

Great fun

You just have to drive faster through the water. You can bend the number plate back later

I noticed that bent plate... wondered if the water did it

GOGADGET · Dec 18th, 2004, 09:11 AM

Hey you two, for a moment I thought you were taking your car washing to a new extreme and doing it Elephant style.

* Hahahahahaha, the thought of Scotty and Smurf caressing and stroking their MINIs in the river *

robbo mcs · Dec 18th, 2004, 09:16 AM

Hi Guys,

Great photos

I'm not so sure I would have driven so aggressively through the water

There are a couple of stories on mini2 about trashed engines from water getting in the air intake while driving through shallow water

However, you obviously made it

Let me be the first one to nominate those pics for the mini2 Aus Calender of 2006

Cheers

Robbo

OZChris · Dec 18th, 2004, 09:26 AM

Great shots.

Looks like you guys had a ball.

Are you volunteering to test the rumoured 4WD MINI?? Haha

Cheers
Chris

Yup for sure

I did a very slow run through to start with. All fine.

Did a hard run through, bent plate on the other side
