Many people driving cars do not know what an air intake is anyway, so not knowing how low it is doesn't really matter.

To me the problem is car designers who put intakes so low. Why?

And they fit expensive electronic boxes too low as well. Why?

I did think about showing how to transit a flood in a car in the Seven, then thought better of it with the low air intake of a 22FZb. The biggest problem with modern drivers is the speed they go at when passing through a flood and with the front air dam which produces a massive bow wave over the bonnet flooding not only the engine ir intake but the heater air intake as well.

Friday 3rd Jan saw a good run for my '25 Chummy over some lovely North Yorkshire roads to meet for lunch at the Wellington Inn, Darley.  Total trip was 110 miles without incident and feeling surefooted after the lovely work completed by Ruairidh in sorting the kingpins and axle eyes.
