In a road around here someone drove a stock MK1 Range Rover fully underwater, so it was above the roof, and still got to the other side!

Personally, not at all coz I live on a hill just outside Tewkesbury. But you couldn't travel anywhere, at one point Tewkesbury was an island, completely cut off from any transport network!

It took me and my Dad 4.5hrs to travel 15 miles home from Evesham on Friday! images/smilies/mad.gif

Have a look through these:
