Note to self: no matter how bad the car sounds after crossing a Ford covered in people with cameras, keep going until you are out of sight!
Hahaha 🤪
@@highdownmartin "WHAT did I tell you!!" "RIGHT!"
Hit it without enough speed so you momentum gets you out of sight.
@@Robert-cu9bm , perhaps they're trying to aquaplane across?
@@kathrynwhitby9799
The Jeep did, didn't it... Into the creek.
villagers at rufford ford: it's raining lets cancel all the plans today and watch some car getting stuck in the water lol
Yep thats what i was thinking lol.
They must be fun at party's lol
They enjoy watching others’ misery, they need education.
@@esphilee They enjoy watching stupidity. The misery is a result of stupidity.
@@esphilee Got your car stuck?
@@stevess7777 , No. that is why I don’t laugh.
7:47 finally a person knows how to drive
Right. I don't know why many of cars made for city-driving are keep going in the deep water at high speed.
Most of them were damaged except old offroad SUV
In the most unsuspecting car as well! 😁
Did he cross or get stuck. looks like he stopped after crossing.
@@reuven2010 the Jag was blocking him
There were a few cars that did it correctly, and a couple even started a wake stayed behind it
The fact that so many will risk a 20, 30, even 60k car is just breathtaking. Keep it up!
my guess is that lots of those people simply dont know about physics, engine construction etc. they are not aware that the engine will suck water. they are like " this is a car, of course it can drive through water, as long as i dont get wet feet, and this is a official road where cars are supposed to drive!"
Thing is, the more expensive cars are more than likely company cars so it's not their money. If these idiots spent their own £60+ on a vehicle perhaps they would take more care.
I have to admit it amazes me the way people drive into standing water. Even if you are in a big 4wd if you see water splash up you have done it wrong. The splash sends the water up and the engine sucks it in. I had to explain to a guy in a lexus that he had hydro locked his engine after he thought it would be funny to drive full speed through a deep puddle at the grocery store parking lot. He was shocked that this could happen.
"4x4" doesn't equal "amphibious" as some have learned to their cost.
thought it was "risky business"
I suspect a lot of people just don't realize the kind of damage driving through water can do. They probably think that once the car dries out it will be just fine. 😭
Granted, driving through water IS funny.
My big 4 wheel can plow through that. Yay snorkels lol may be just a jeep thing 😆 😄
I'd like to have seen the Jag driver's face as that little Corsa comes past his stricken SUV, Corsa did it perfectly, it's not about size, it's how you use it 😉.
It's where the air intake is located too. Many cars have them really low down like the BMW, others have them just under the bonnet line. Providing you go fairly slow and steady you will get through.
@@Bond2025
Exactly also if the car shuts down DON'T start it over
Good point, because water cannot be compressed in an internal combustion engine
@@Bond2025 F-Pace will wade up to 550mm, unless you drive through at 30mph like a dick. Note another F-Pace went through after at a sensible pace and was fine.
@@Bond2025 that advice can apply to other things as well.
0:23 the way that the Mini's wheels locked up made me wonder if the driver thought that he might be able to straighten out his con-rods after the hydraulic lock.🤣
I love that there seems to be just random strangers helping on standby to tow them out? The kids are on a field trip! I love it
The silver Landrover at 3.20 was absolutely perfect. Gently accelerate into the water to create the bow wave, then keep the speed up. The Hyundai 2 cars later showed that lower riding cars can do as well. Too many people too fast, create a splash then the reaction floods the intake.
What do they expect? Drive fast enough and skip on the surface?
@@LeifNelandDk wait, that actually sounds like it could work, maybe if people approach alot faster, no slowing down required
drowns out the computer
RIP all the connecting rods and valve stems harmed in the filming of these videos. Bless them for their sacrifice.
and those front tags!!
And, let us not forget all those moldy interiors...
I don t just hell understand how these drivers blow up their engines!! Before doing this, must know minimum about the placement of air filter and air conduct on the car you re driving...man !! I m confused LOL...in a basic s3 audi for exemple...the air filter is placed too low that even 30cm of water **or spreading goutletes** could cause engine replacement or 30ke repair...amazing these rich People..;)
And the no claims bonus
@@houcinoft not rich but dumb
Boggles my mind that they have marked ford crossings in the UK. I’ve *never* seen one in the US. If a bridge is too much, they’ll build an embankment for the road and put a culvert in for the waterway. If some sort of dry crossing can’t be built, the water stays uncrossable.
They tell you here to *never* drive into *any* depth of standing water because you can’t tell how deep it is or if the roadway’s been washed out or not. The watchword is “Turn around, don’t drown”
Like why do they bother to build a road below water level in first place 💨
@@winters4960 Wow that's so naive.
@@winters4960 Fords are old river crossings, I wouldn't be surprised if this route and ford crossing is older than most countries, the UK included.
@@eddyr3691 ford crossing is old, but it is not built for car at first. It means it isnt as easily access as now compare to long century ago.
There must be modern construction and maintenance involve in building the base of ford,the slope for entering, and asphalt for the road. You can see Some driver even take a wrong route, proceed to enter the river, and it is really bumpy with normal river bed such as gravel, rock and sand.
@@winters4960The asphalt stops before the crossing itself, which transitions to concrete for the full length at this particular ford. Concrete has been around a very long time.
The design of the ford will have been set long before modern construction methods, and this rural route (road) established long ago. It will have been made for any traffic that could cross it, which at the time would likely have been horse and cart. The design of very modern low cars with their low air intakes and complex electronics doesn't factor into it, nor does the massive boom in vehicle ownership in the last few decades. Locals will have continued using the original track to their benefit since it was first established centuries back, and the immediate area evolved naturally over time. There are buildings along the route, a nearby mill which is a particular feature at this location.
As to cars going the wrong way, the few examples ive seen is one idiot driving fast and aquaplaning, and another intentionally in his 4x4 to get a run up to splash the onlookers.
These compilations bring such joy. Hilarious. The spectators really add something!
5:14 and THIS is how you do it, if you do not have a vehicle with a high snorkle (inlet for engine air): Slow and steady. No wave. If the water gets into the engine, it dies. Well done, Ford driver!
Yep he still got vapor out of the exhaust, be sure this is how most locked SUV should have done
7:45 did it right
@@noenic yeah you could tell they had done it before
He didn't make it anyway u can see him in the far, engine died (white smoke)
@@DHKarol white smoke doesn’t always mean dead engine, it could have got a bit a water but maybe not enough for catastrophic failures
I have the same car, I wouldn’t have risked it.
I love the vehicles being pulled with the brake on/in gear!
I assumed their engine was locked and the drivetrain stuck on, but leaving the brake on seem also likely with this bunch.
I believe vehicles like the Countryman have an electric handbrake.
No excuse for destroying a £40,000+ vehicle !
I thought is was DSG type auto gearboxes that were stuck in gear with a hydrolocked engine.
@@JohnSmith-ef8nr I don't think Mini Cooper has a DSG transmission.
@@frothe42 no, but I’ve seen BMWs go the same way, I don’t think they can take them out of Park.
Ford fiesta : The passage is very hard!
Land Rover Defender : NO PROBLEMMMMM
The urge of getting across every fast is beyond what I'm capable of comprehending.
A Glasgow taxi driver got stuck in a very flooded road and when asked by another taxi driver. Didn’t you see that there was a bus stuck in the water ? his reply was “I didn’t see it was a double decker”.
Taxi drivers😃😃😃😃
Amazing how many people think allowing water into the air intake is a sensible idea 😂
They are trying to clean the inside of there engines as they are dirty
@@fezza6853 or, saving money by burning water, instead of gas.......
Madness
Lol, more than 90% of people dont have basic understanding how car works. They dont know car needs air for combustion, or where oil dipstick is and how to check oil levels. People dont care about that stuff + they are super lazy to go 10min other way around...
Nearly all of these people I’m sure don’t even know what an air intake is
0:20 RIP Automatic transmission
5 likes, no replys to a verified comment? weird
The mechanic and tow truck drivers must be ballers!
$300 for the tow.
And $150 per hour for labor.
Damn.
I'm just amazed how they're just driving full speed into the water flooding out they're engines. I don't think they realize how much damage they are doing by doing that smh.
That and I would argue all thst force isn't good for bumper clips etc.
*their
That and how they dont realise that if they somehow manage to keep the engine running and get over it, there's still much water inside electrical components. A dead ECU is expensive, but all kinds of electrical faults in wiring from corrosion etc is going to cost shit loads of work hours to go through. I saw many headlights start to flicker when they went in and that's not a good sign...
@@bobbowie9350bumper clips? That cost 2$??? Were talking engine here that is 20k+ brand new. Yoir high
Note to self - If theres a crowd filming and laughing and lots of broken down cars next to a body of water do not attempt to drive through it.
Terror on drivers face when they enter the water and the dash lights up like an Xmas tree 🎄 🤣🤣🤣
Ever since i saw the first one of these, I knew it was gonna be addicted. I know what I'm going for the next 2 hours
Mondeo man did it best 5:11. Get a bow wave going and travel as fast as the water allows without the water splashing over your bonnet.
Would have been perfect except that iirc the intake on those Mondeos sits really low down
@@wade4699 steam. off the hot exhaust
Exactly
Team "Know How"....that one was particularly sweet.
Wow, the blue Range actually lifted his suspension! Good for them…
I love the bonnet lifters. We all know that lifting the bonnet straightens those bent con rods and releases that hydrolocked engine 🤗
must be a new grade of Pixie Dust!!!
It’s a well known fact.
I'm amazed at the amount of people who see water and immediately think "send it!" Lol 😆
They just don’t want to be silly
I've watched two of your videos, and this is already one of my favorite channels. Subscribed.
We need a road side attraction like this!
If water is sucked into the air intake scoop, you're done. Just drive slow so the water won't splash up.
Love it when these videos come out! Always make me laugh at how thick some of these drivers are for attempting it!
The gift that keeps on giving
This is so satisfying, love the people watching on the side :D
8:50 I wonder if that's the most offroading that Range Rover has ever seen? :)
DEFINITELY!!
Good comment.
🤣🤣🤣
🏴
That little curb was almost too much 😂
I was thinking that. Went through a foot of water but scared to go up a little bit of mud lol
After watching a few of these videos, I've come to the conclusion that most of the small car drivers seem to think their on a WRC stage, and can hit the water crossings with the same enthusiasm without consequence.
Loved the kids shouting, do it! do it! 😂
dude on 1:34 is goat lol.....like in the computer game
lmao
почему козел? люди и пришли туда чтобы повеселиться.
@@user-kt8fl7fu7y huh?
More cars going to end up with the old "Rufford rattle" coming from the engine.

Lol
You should do a compilation video of people who got angry being filmed going through this. I'm sure you get a couple of those a day lol.
Big shout to those who help these people and inform them of the reality now in front of them.
This is The best car wash i ever seen in my life
5:18 Kudos for the Mondeo driver!
for some reasons the car broke down later on. I don't understand how considering that he aced the whole crossing
Textbook! And that Corsa at 7:24 showing the F-Pace driver how it's done 😂
5:12 - Hope the Mondeo ST doesn't have any lasting issues. Such an underrated future classic.
@@madmax-tg3vo I saw people commenting on the Mondeo, then I saw it was an ST, and you got through with the right technique. Made me smile. Never buy a stupid modern SUV, keep that beauty as long as you can!
@@j3652 No.
Super informative video
the "team know how" truck LOL
The first few minutes of this are perhaps the funniest ever, especially the idiot who tries to go down the stream instead of road!
Maybe it was due to the Learner plate on the rear it makes them a real driver
That was the most ridiculous attempt at getting through the water
Bet insurance companies love this, no payout to their customers 😄
bet they know now!!!!
Mechanics love it though. I bet many are opening shop down the road
Be sure there's a man from insurance companies filming the tags...kkkkk
It’s amazing how the crowd just watches and records instead of warning or blocking off the road.
you shouldn't need a warning to realise driving through that much water is a bad idea. also some of the videos I've seen of the same road, there were signs saying road closed, but idiots decided to ignore it.
The older you get, the more you realise that some people are lessons to everyone else.
We need the idiots to show those with a reasonable level of intelligence what not to do.
We must also take a moment to thank capitalism for raising everyone’s standard of living compare to 99% of the humans that ever existed. Totally brain dead people can own a 30k+ car when they used to get eaten by a tiger.
Car company ad: Go anywhere!
Rufford Ford: Hold my beer ...
0:21 Whoever drove that Mini, could obviously put in neutral. That mistake could cost him pretty much.
Yeah that was painful. Rip transmission
engine totalled so gearbox just don't matter...
wish his insurance cover stupidity. HAHAHA
Maybe the bill will drive the lesson home
Maybe the water destroyed the electronic parking brake?
Rufford Ford must be the location of Nottinghamshires largest spectator sport
Depends how bad Forest are playing, lol.
Great fun for the locals.
The road open again? Thank you for the videos 🥰🥰
The Award goes to the Mondeo!! Perfect execution 👍
Well no matter what you do, NEVER take your Countryman out of park when attempting to tow it.
Oh, I see they already know that....
Tips for some beginners who are looking to do something similar.
1. Slow down your approach.
2. Your engine can not breathe air if water is over the bonnet ( if it reaches above the logo its unsafe) unless you have a snorkel installed.
3. Know how deep the water is or whats the condition of the surface under water.
4. Slow the f down
Love these videos
The level of arrogance and incompetence on show here is always remarkable. People managing to kill their Land Rovers / Range Rivers is especially remarkable. No one expects a Fiesta to be good in a flood, but driving Solihull’s finest badly enough to kill it is an achievement
What about that Jaguar?
unless they have a snorkle, they are still screwed i suppose
Modern ones are stuffed full of electronics.
Its about creating a bow wave it creates a bubble so you dont suck in wa
Honestly, how many of these LR owners know the true capabilities of their 4x4, lots of bling, but zero common sense.
And the best part is - the alternative route is only few miles longer
10 minutes or 10000-which is cheaper....
great show for the people
5:12 this is just beautiful. Well done Ford driver
So many engines get liquid locked here, it amazes me how many people continue to go through
Hell of a spectator sport. 😂😂😂
This looks like a lot of fun to pass the day 😅
Having owned a Nissan Primastar van until recently (and I liked it) I knew that the air intake pipe was pointed downwards and positioned quite low at the front just behind the radiator. I presume it was to catch cooler air. I would not dare go into water deeper than the sills, and then only at a snail's pace.
The mini at the beginning had the right technique, but sometimes it's just too deep regardless of how well you drive. The Jag that came after had the right car but wrong technique, that shouldn't have been an issue if he took it easy. I have no idea what the Wrangler driver was trying to do.
The Jeep driver was simply an idiot.
The mini didn't have the right technique though? they started fine but then accelerated for no reason and pushed the wave over the bonnet, that's exactly the thing you don't do.
Yeah that BMW mini did a poor job.
The Corsa had the right technique - the mini did nothing like it
@Alfred Wedmore I must agree with you! 😂 😂 😂 😂
5:12 The Mondeo ST is a master class in how to get past the final boss at anything in life. 👏 textbook.
The driver of the 4x4 hitting the ford at about 1.34 was just mental!
9:27 he did it correctly lol..
You wanna go as fast as possible so that you can hydroplane ontop of the water so your undercarriage doesn't get wet :). FASTER THE BETTER!
1:30 brilliant to see an L-plate miss the ford almost entirely
Back with BIGGER and Better videos! Was just watching your last one. Merry Christmas 🎅
I love this. This is hilarious.
..this is wonderful way to support local economy, and at same time keep roads free from baboons..
7:39 , exactly how it should be done
Example of the drives' skills and knowledge nowadays.. Most drivers now are "I don't care what's under the bonnet, there are people to take care of it".. Then you realize you have destroyed your engine out of pure incompetence..
Car manuals used to have instructions how to adjust valve gaps.., now they have instructions not to drink the coolant ..
the coolant tastes better then a valve gap.........
Cars have evolved, and while yes, them having stopped being easy user-serviceable is not always the kind of change I would call practical or good, there is something to be said for them having gotten so incredibly efficient we can make systems that make them reliably stall ignition for a while at a traffic light and restart when getting a green, along with engines being much more efficient.
Council provides a footbridge for pedestrians but no needed bridge for cars …the sheer genius of it all 😂😂
Beautifully done. 7:45
Looks like the red top Mini was in gear and the handbrake still on when it was dragged onto the loader! It's presently SORN'd too
In gear with the engine hydrolocked probably :-)
I doubt insurance pay out to any of these idiots.
@@highdownmartin that's incorrect. most automatic cars (such as toyota or BMW) that I have sen have a small button around the gear knob that allows you put it in drive/reverse and so on. My neighbour's toyota yaris (2014 hybrid) had the 12V battery flat and I had to move it out of his garage. Looking at the owner manual I came across how to put it in Neutral in order to move the car. I doubt that expensive cars won't have that and it should be a matter of people not bothering to read the owner's manual
@@highdownmartin Yep, Steptronic auto box. Didn't realize you couldn't get it into neutral unless engine running.
@@DavetheMonster They have auto parking brake though and the car's electrics are probably fried haha
Amazes me why so many people don't look at this ford and think "I'd rather turn round and find another route,even if it adds 10 minutes to my journey,than potentially wreck my car" 🤷♀️🤦♀️
Yup. 8 minutes, according to google maps.
Interesting to see what brands that can drive trough without problems and some not has anyone made a list of car brands that can handle the water best?
5:11 A Ford vs the Ford, legendary!
BMW/MINI owners unaware of the emergency neutral switch will never cease to amaze me.
I was wondering why the wheels locked up. I'm unfamiliar with those cars, is basically an automatic and they don't know how to get it into neutral hence the wheels locking up?
@@JoeJoe-sv5rk
It seems once the engine dies you need to use the emergency neutral for the Auto gearbox, most owners do not read the manual because it also says not to drive through deep water, it's a car, not a boat.
@@JoeJoe-sv5rk BMW’s (and as such MINI’s) won’t go in to any gear when the engine is off, engine must be on to move transmission out of Park position - that being said, there is the emergency neutral pull that comes equipped in every automatic BMW… yet owners don’t seem to realize that haha. So drag them out they must, apparently… 🤣
To be fair, they’re unaware of many things.
@@ic1815 BMW__Big Muthaf**kin Wallet!!!!
For people who aren’t local, it isn’t even a worthwhile shortcut ! Like 3-5 minutes saving max. Also let’s not forget if you do make it through and you don’t hydro lock your engine you can also warp your brake discs, ruin tracking and or damage electrics. Some people are daft
I asked how long a diversion route would be to avoid this ford on a different video. I was gobsmacked when I read your post about not being a worthwhile shortcut and the small amount of time it saves.
Youd be amazed at how many people dont even bother with maps. They dont even know how to put an alternative route into their sat nav. And look at the cars :- they are all people who have fled cities for the rural school run life. They have no clue where they ate all day- a bit like an amazon courier - “computer says go left” 😳
this is how they roll rufford,
Would loved to have been on the deck watching this. I would have brought plenty of beer.

8:13 This is how you should cross (if you absolutely have no other way around) deep water. Not run through it like you going down splash mountain.
Corsa did it much better, especially for that small car.
This is very entertaining 👍👌😃
Where is this ??
1:31
:"I sent her a little to fcking hard bud!"
I think most of the people in jags and landrovers and suv's in general think they're invincible, along with van drivers. 😂
Dunno about other van models, but the air filter intake in my Hiace is pretty much the lowest point in the van. I'll go the long way, thanks!
Man, this is like the 11foot8 channel but then with a Ford :P . I've been binge-watching so many of these :P.
National Hydrolocking Championships!
Definitely one of the best channels on YT. I think the Countryman looked like a write off, stuck in gear and engine locked. Very expensive Jaguar FPace, very expensive engine repair. Darwin Award to blue Chelsea Tractor driver for making a mountain out of a molehill.
I would like to thank you for your service, I was towing a carvan yesterday and when I saw the sign for rufford and the the ford sign I turned around at the golf course road. Sorry I wasn't on your video 🙂
