I'm sure they would. I know there's a strong contingent of Landies right here in Chilliwack. I watched a vid of them trying to ford the Fraser River to an island (which, amazingly, is apparently possible at certain times) They didn't make it, the crazy buggers lol it looked fun though. The first guy who tried it drowned his Defender, but they eventually managed to pull him out and I believe it started up once they cleared the cylinders.
