Crazy Tesla driver!! | Rufford Ford FLOOD | part 136 

Britain's most entertaining IQ test.

"I've wrote one off already in here". Well done mate, you're a genius.

None of them ever seem disappointed. Almost like they drove in because they want some drama in their life. It would be interesting to research the psychology behind this.

It shows how many people have no clue about the basics of how an engine work

It’s crazy to me how nobody seems to understand how water fording works, faster does not equal better

I don’t know why RU-vid delivered these vídeos to me, here in Brazil… But now, I can’t stop watching them. Please keep recording it. Thank you

Take it slow, guys! It's surprising how many of the larger vehicles don't make it through simply because the drivers are going too fast. They have enough height clearance, but the excessive speed forces the water high enough to reach the intake

The water doesn't look that deep , it only comes half way up that duck !!!!😂😂 F

You can call me a miserable old git all you like, but these videos are so much more tranquil and therapeutic without the screaming children in the background...

If you see a bunch of people standing around filming you go through a water crossing, it probably isn't the best idea to go through it lmao. Really surprised the Miata made it through unscathed

Imagine destroying your car and being immediately met with British banter. 10/10

That duck swimming by was just insult to injury. He was definitely judging the driver.

Watching that smoke change from black to white at 4:10 was joyous! Either your engine is humped or there is a new pope!🤣

Funny how people are more concerned about their shoes and pants getting wet afterwards, rather than the expensive vehicle getting ruined before charging into a flooded river. 🤣🤣🤣

I would love to be the local mechanic in this area. This ford is like a money-printing machine!

I love this traditional event in Britain. I heard it goes back to the time of king Edward, who’s coachman lost the kings coach in the flood and was beheaded it for it.

First bloke ‘this is the 2nd car I’ve done, wrote one off here already’ Brains of a fresh cow pat. Thick as mince

Driver: I thought you said it was only a couple of inches deep? Local: Water only comes half way up our ducks.

Imagine writing off a car and not learning to do it again. More money than sense. What a pillock.

When you see 20 broken down vehicles near a body of water, you might not want to cross

The image of a delivery driver wearing a high-visibility tabard whilst his van is broken down in at least a foot of muddy water is a beautiful, succinct summary of Modern Britain.

The fact that you got 136 parts out of this before someone even put a sign up let alone do something about this problem is astounding...

Loved the Tesla and the Hummer in this episode

As a Florida resident in hurricane country i learned to seal a distributor, spark plug wires and vents for submarine driving. I had a 66 Chevy Belair wagon that could drive through any flooded road. The thing would slice though foot deep water like a swamp buggy at 35 mph throwing rooster tails 20 feet high.

Bravo to the guys who rescued the fish. That water is really deep now!

Ford focus @09:45 shows perfect technique, good speed, great bow wave, no water over the bonnet.

Another fine episode of ‘Britain’s Got Talent’

It’s amazing how the drivers laugh/smile as they realise what they’ve done. Unbelievable!

9:23 the little mx5 miata goes through that water like a boss.

I'm amazed that MX5 made it out and kept going

These videos offer a bizarre spectacle of communal indifference and personal misfortune, encapsulated in moments of both humor and tragedy.

RUFFORD:- An intellectual wilderness with a large population of lemmings…

I love the way drivers give us an evening performance. A lovely night out for all sorts of people, and then a light supper and bed.

Imagine being the person who writes a car off in a ford that is highly notorious for killing cars, and then driving up to a deep ford in another car and thinking “ah it’ll be okay”.🤣😂

Tesla said “Good Morning!” 😂😂

Surprised so many got through the flood. I love seeing the falls at the end. You could make one of those "Sleep or Relax" waterfall type videos with those. Thank you, Tom!

Happy to see the guy in the blue landrover finally got his

That Model 3 handled the water like a champ.

Its amazing how they are interested in whats under the bonnet after and not before they go into the flood.

This is the second car I've done, The Audi driver says proudly.

Hello, love these videos. Me and my son sit and watch and play guess which car will get through. Suprising how many people attempt it. Thanks for the videos.

I'm shocked the Miata made it through , and the number of Fords that didn't dissolve.

I'd love to know how well the door seals kept out the water. They're designed to keep rain out, not full submersion.

And I repeat, I can't believe the MX-5 made it.

great to see it nice and full again, not so nice for the drivers but great for viewers

I love that someone finally drove all the way down the side channel, far, AND BACKWARDS FAST! My hero. Now time for a roof snorkel? That was close lol..

im in favour of re-testing drivers every 5 years after watching this! lol

"Ive written one off in here already" Good to see the British education system is working well

When you see a bunch of locals pointing a flashlight at you and filming you as you approach a flooded road it might be a good idea to make a U-turn.

5:35 Tesla does just fine.

Everyone seemed unmindful why there are people with smartphones and cameras hanging around at the spot probably waiting for potential "fail" content.

I love the way they go for the ignition key. Perhaps the last thing you want to touch in the situation.

Thanks for that little bit at the end showing the top of the river, I always wondered wtf was up there, I just assumed it was a few drains converging, but this is much cooler

Good to see the fish made it safely back. 🐟

What people seem not to understand is that, their gas engines compress air, but water can not be compressed. If your air intake is low then the engine sucks in water and you will destroy your engine by bending the piston rods.

all this to avoid an 8-mile detour, its madness, I love my car much so much to even consider going through lower water.

Ah yes, all conrods need to straighten themselves is a good solid revving, as demonstrated by the clownshoe (s) in the landrover.

I wonder how the Audi A7 driver got to be in his mid 50s

That Tesla driver wont be feeling so cocky if that water seeps into his battery back and fucks it. I wonder if the insurance companies refuse to pay out due to stupidity.

I am utterly amazed how many don't know how to negotiate a water hazard and in a defender as well .

It always makes me nervous seeing people standing around the tow cables. When they're pulling cars out. They pack a serious punch if one breaks loose and hits you

Like the shots of the weir gates and spillway!

White smoke = engine coolant being superheated. I know. Blew an engine once.

What a fascinating video. Why would people do that to their expensive vehicles???

Love how the delivery driver just brushed a piece of plastic into the water. What a tosser

And this is why insurance premiums are 50% more expensive in rufford area !

Its nice to see jolly ol' England has geniuses too! 🤣

11:54 when you hear a vehicle accelerating toward the water, you know it's time to run!

Isn't it weird how he brains of some people and their lack of reality and consequences seem to evaporate the minute they get behind a steering wheel? Good business for RU-vid Dash cam channels too.

What most people forget is if its a turbo engine and gets slightly flooded but still turns over amd starts eventually the first thing they do Is rev it all thats going to do is put any water that's in the intercooler straight into the engine so its hydrolocked good and proper, you need to drain everything before you attempt a restart, plugs or glows out intercooler pipes off.

Its the video i never knew i needed in my life.. thanks yt algoritim.

9:22 I'm always surprised at how well MX5s seem to handle this.

Its amazes me, that there are so many people that seem to have no clue on how an engine works.

And remember up until they arrived here these are the people you’re sharing the roads with, sometimes they’re driving toward you at up to 60mph…

Charge them 500 quid to pull them out, muppets 😂😂😂

Fascinating! I’ve got hooked on these. What morons! I assume there are alternative routes to / from the A614? I can just imagine the smug feelings of the people who make it through until the dashboard lights up like a Christmas tree!! Thanks for the entertaining videos.

Hands up if you were desperately hoping that the Hummer would get hydrolocked.

German Car: Bow down to my German superiority Rufford Ford!!!! Rufford Ford: ..............

The duck was totally mastering it.

the guys thats written off his 2nd car isn't going to have much fun with insurance

You would think in a country that has so much rain that drivers would be more savvy in how to cross a flooded causeway or not cross it . I once balked at crossing a fast moving flooded road but a guy behind me blasting his horn and going on like a lunatic rushed around me and was last seen floating away down the flooded creek . I just waved and yelled out bon voyage and turned around and went home and reported it . There was nothing else I could do . No mobile phones in those days . Later on the news I heard he drowned .

For saving the little fish - a huge like ))

Tesla burns down house later that evening... LOL

that defender needed a snorkle for doing that sort of depth

All bow to the mighty MX5

First Tesla I've seen, incredible how they have made everything incl batteries and motors waterproof !

8:48 I love how people stand next to tow straps under tension. Have they never heard of snap-back zones?

Duck saying that you are quackers lol

Cool to see how easy the Tesla makes it.

Brain of the month " this is the second car i've wrote off here " 🤦‍♂

As long as the electrical is sealed and the car isn't buoyant (so it floats off the roadway), electric cars should go through just fine. Those heavy batteries in ECs can only help in these situations.

Rufford rule 101 . If it’s German it probably won’t get through. If it’s Japanese or French you stand a chance

That big building next to the ford, is it a pub or restaurant? If it is, it must be pretty much booked solid because of these videos!

This is aimed at the people who are as thick as mince.. Vehicles, just like humans need to breath. They breath in through the air intake, which is normally situated behind the panel at the front of the car where the bonnet catch sits. And they breath out through the exhaust pipe. If humans breath lots of water in they drown, then you are dead.. If vehicles breath lots of water in they also drown, and your engine dies, and I don't mean just stops. They die because your engine is wrecked.

why are they so chill about it? its amazing how must of this could have been avoided by going slower. And that audi that doesnt even take the parking brake off

The stupidity of those people that try to start a hydrolocked car rly drives me mad. How go these people through life? Do the need to pay someone for assembling Ikea furniture? Just heartbreaking how a grown man can be such a helpless child.

00:40 Dumber & Dumber

11:53 when you know it’s about to get serious 😂 runnnnnn b runnnn 😂 but at the end Duck 🦆 was the winner the best performance 😂

Any chance for @WarpedPerception to put a GoPro inside an engine's intake manifold to watch water pass by the intake valves during a hydrolock?

I like the ones that get angry at the people filming
