In Melbourne today we had a stack of rain witch caused a lot of flash flooding in the streets. It was good to be able to use the hydro suspension raise lever, i just pulled the lever on the dash to raise the car and get through some of the bad areas on my way home. ;D

Nice.

I have used that function many times on less than ideal gravel roads/tracks... it works a treat and saves the underbody from damage.

Nice one, almost a gwagen!
But be careful. remember that big flood in Melbourne last year. I used the 123 as a submarine trying to get home from chadstone. Also drove through a foot of water for a few hundred meters between n.melb And footscray gettin takeaway the same day.  Within days the front wheel bearings sounded horrendous! I got them replaced a week later. Hopefully your 6.9 will escape this fate!
