It's bonnet height/top of the engine.

You should be alright unless your're in Somerset in which case I would drive far far away...

Or if you can't get away I suggest up. With the right speed you should be able to clip a kerb just right you land somewhere in the spare bedroom, you should be ok from there :)

Only messing, I'd hate to he in the south west right now and feel for anyone stuck there.

I seem to remember the handbook saying that the car should not be driven in water that comes above the lowest part of the bodywork (or something similar)...
