(PS.  Because the air intake is on top of the engine and 
connected to the intake on the bonnet, I was able to go through 
a puddle that a 4x4 wouldn't.  This means :  1.  I am *really* 
dumb  or  2.  He was a yellabelly.)

(And an idiot in a Toyota Hi-Ace (with a LOW air intake on the 
side) tried to follow and couldn't! <cue derisive comments and 
manical laughter> )
