    I shouldn't laugh.......but I will....Hahahaha.
    Kinda funny when you open the door after doing that and a torrent of water flows out.
    Been there done that one (I think there's even a video of it on here somewhere)! Ended up stripping the interior completely, pressure washing everything to get the mud out, 2 or 3 days to let everything dry out properly (plenty of hours with the doors open and heater running too). Took about 2 weeks from start to finish.
    Would I do it again.......hmmmmmm........maybe!
    As Threedogs wisely suggested though, always best to go with another car that can pull you out or help recover.
    I doubt they'll write it off. Make sure you park it on an angle (nose in the air) to get all the water running out from inside the doors etc.
    Well and truly christened her now mate. Good job!
    In all honesty, most bog holes these days are almost impossible to drive on anything but 35inch tyres. Most you will diff-out on.
