I was a big fan of Graces amazing Machines - she's fit and the theme tune is done by the Darkness.

I think the joke is lost if you actually recognise the show

Oh Rich gets the joke for sure…

Yes, I recognise both shows.

It's the sign language woman I feel sorry for.

On Saturday I stopped at Shell Ford (from this video, and BenGregers has posted more videos from there. Amusingly there was a car which thought better of going through blocking the way. I let him turn round then parked and had a look at the depth. Really not very deep; I didn't go through but only because I was heading the other way.

There's a little picnic area with bench where a budding Youtuber can sit with their camera. I was hoping to get a video of someone videoing drivers (this time next year, Rodders...) but nothing to see.

Excuse to go through it twice wasted
Have you gone fording in the Jimny? Not flood wading or owt, just ticking off Wet Roads entries.

Double ford post.

It certainly reads like that, I'll have to see if there's any clarification since then.

He's got to be trolling. He must be
I wonder if anyone's said in the comments "It's ok, a bike isn't as solid as that post so the damage to the car won't be as bad." as an Uno reverse troll (and coincidentally the safest way to crash one)?

It just leads to a single track lane and I'm not sure how far I'd have had to go to turn round.

Not been properly fording in the Jimny but I think the lovely wet road at Duntisbourne Abbots is now open again so requires a visit - seen here from the previous Grand Vitara:


Also did a few other deeper crossings in the GV round Worcestershire, including the infamous video (sound up):

To be honest, fording isn't the thing I get most pleasure out of when green laning. I contributed quite a few to Wetroads.co.uk over 20 years ago so I think that sated my thirst.

Nice hat Dr Grant

You'll need to keep an eye on that Swan, it'll break your arm that will!

Jobbo: Your drivers were so preoccupied with whether they could cross the ford, they didn’t stop to think if they should...

Whilst looking for something, I realised that google street-view includes Silverstone Circuit. You can even go inside the hospitality buidling. Which is definitely random.

Most of Donno too...
