On holiday in Africa we had to take a bush taxi/4x4 from one town to another. The road gets very boggy and the water deep for a fair part of it. When the water goes over the bonnet you need a snorkel obviously. These guys use parcel tape and a plastic tube, removing the air filter and fitting it to the intake...

We got through alright, even though the 4 wheel drivetrain seemed to be missing most of its teeth, there were some horrible grinding and jolting noises!

C&C always appreciated :)
 
Interesting stuff. Having been to Africa several times, Im always astounded by their ingenuity
