Good job he has a snorkel, the water was almost over his tyres at one point. InitialDave said:
I've taken a Fiat Panda through worse, not even in 4wd for the majority of it.
I have got myself mildly stuck in similar terrain, though - in a knackered 1.2 Clio. I'd have bloody made it with more run up!

That takes things to a whole new level.

I'm assuming "Response" in big letters down the side is shorthand, and the rest of the phrase is "...to the fact that I am a deeply sad, socially awkward individual desperately trying to make up for the yawning, empty failure of the rest of my life".55palfers said:

I just remembered a couple from my childhood.
A World War Two Luftwaffe Walt. (Try saying that in a comedy German accent.)
My Dad, like I imagine lots of kids during world war two, was a bit of a plane spotter. He could reel off the differences in marks of German and RAF planes.
We were on holiday in Spain when my folks got chatting to this German couple. The guy started telling war stories of British towns and cities he had bombed.
My Dad asked him what aircraft he flew and I think he said something like a Junkers 52 which was a transport and not a bomber.
The German guy stormed off when this was pointed out to him.
Conversely, when I visited Germany for a wedding in the 1980s, I met a few reverse Walts. Most of the men of WW2 fighting age told me they were either medics or cooks during the war. All very plausible until I met a member for the German family years later. We got chatting about the wedding and he asked me if I knew about his uncles - the cooks and medics I had met.
They'd all been in the SS and had never touched so much as a saucepan or bandage during the time they were rampaging round Europe following Aldolf's orders.
Is that reverse waiting or just war criminals in hiding? A World War Two Luftwaffe Walt. (Try saying that in a comedy German accent.)

Walts....you have to wonder what goes off in their minds.
Unfortunately they appear in all walks of life.
Until I retired a couple of years ago, I used to work in a security role...a reasonable job that entailed a great deal of time overseas and, at times, at sea.
I've met (and had to listen too) more ex Special Forces blokes than the Special Forces ever knew they had. Also a frightening amount who thought they were James Bond. It's sad that people have to come up with this BS.
Over the years I and a few others reached the conclusion it could only be due to them lacking self-confidence leading to them bulling themselves up to try and impress others. Although it had the exact opposite effect they were too thick to see it.
Can't say I miss them or their BS.

Take a look at the rest of his vids- especially his Volvo XC90 Search and Rescue Support Vehicle.

Makes you wonder what else he keeps in his pocket."This car has been done up out of my own pocket. and it was not cheap"
Swiss army knife ? Bat-cape ? Los Angeles Class attack submarine ?
