I don't think that Morocco is particularly known for geysers.

So I assume he meant a 'geezer' like this:

Not sure why water squirting out of an engine would remind him of that though

That's not what I think a geezer would look like. I'd expect a guy in their 70's or 80's.

I kid you not.. !

That was the point I was sort of aiming at, flood damge to engines really isn't that bad. Swap the starter and alternator though - don't want all that grit in the works.

I always said that Ford Ka's can't withstand a major crash... you obviously weren't driving fast enough if you couldn't get through to the other side!!!

ps... how's the car? Did you get to Elite?

Carlos was the Ford 4 foot deep?

Yeah mate, i made it 3/4 way through before conking out. I had to swing from the door and jump onto the bonnet to then jump from the bonnet to get clear.

Then needed towing hook in boot. so took my jeans off and went for a swim.

At the rear it was upto my knees. It was far deeper in the middle.

Fuck knows why i thought i could get through it. Luckily my mate was behind me.
