Subaru Forester goes snorkeling!

Heavily modified Subaru Forester XS crosses flooded road at Macdonald River, St Albans NSW.

***IMPORTANT NOTE: This road was not closed by the RTA. We walked this before attempting to cross and witnessed a truck cross from the opposite direction***

Tow truck was there to pick up a stranded Barina - see other vids

that's impressive

Whoops! accidently removed the post about ignition protection. Creating a bow wave in front of the vehicle will help keep water out. Otherwise, per the other video put a "blind" across the front of the car.

What if you've stopped in the middle ? This is likely my next car (within 5/6 months). Wish it had Manual Shift with Turbo engine.

Switch the engine off immediately! Then recover

Nice Kevin, do you still do this with your Forester or use your Triton?

[Birdcage67554]

if top gear used a subaru in the crossing the english channel episode....they wouldve succeeded their first try and made it across. and they clearly wouldnt even need ridiculous outboard engines or floatation devices. this vid proves it!

I can really appreciate your modifications AND your experience. I'm astounded at how many people just drive into water who's depth they don't know and expect to get across. On my stock Impreza sedan, I can ford 1' (30CM) of water and be fine. I look out the driver's window at the front wheel. If the water gets above the center of the rim, I stop and reverse out.
