they probably thought that they had Hummarines.



I wouldnt try water crossing in winter not knowing how deep water is, how thick ice is, as they found out, its pretty hard to climb out of it when ice floor is sealed beam high. <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... adbang.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':headbang:' /> Even the H1 when it tried it sounded like it hit a brick wall and stayed right there, either hooked on something or just dogged itself deeper down. Result, 2 H to recover and there will be damages. hiiiii Vodka they surely needed once out, to try again few hrs later.. <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... adbang.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':headbang:' />

I guess, if fishes start to swim in windshield, you are in deep water.

By the time water reach door handles, the H3 become buoyant and loose traction you have to open doors to let water in to give it weight in order to regain traction, but that cause another problem,, electronic in the H wont like it at all.

So better get wet suit fins and snorkel to swim across and then pull out the H. hihihi
