He may have got away in 2wd but would you have took the time to try it before locking the hubs?

I agree about the unmrella though, weird, about to be washed away and worried about getting his hair wet! Or am i biased cause i haven't got any

The speed at which that river changed was scarey!

One other thing, I think if you watch the video until the end where all the cars are piled up, isnt that the same white 4x4 that he originally got out thats is covered with other cars? lol

Remind me again which is better, Manual or Auto hubs?

Certainly would have been ok in 2 wheel drive, but if the back end had started to float he would be down the river.

I agree with the speed of change, not sure over how long the session was, that the clips were put together, but I think I would be making plans to leave the area.
