FAIL or FLOAT!? - Catastrophic Car Deaths at Rufford Ford! 

4:06 the most unexpected driver of the day

Part of me feels bad, but the rest of me is going "GO ON LADS, HAMMER IT THROUGH!!"

The dog analysing the situation before going through in the van got me 😂

The locals must absolutely hate the attention this place is getting 😂

The reason why the minivan has a side exhaust is because it was modified for wheelchair access. The wheelchair ramp takes up the space where the exhaust pipe would normally go, so they have to reroute it. And recently they dredged the stream to increase the flow, so fortunately for motorists, but unfortunately for spectators, the level of water in the ford is quite a bit lower now.

11:46 never been more relieved 😅

The Land cruiser did it the proper way by creating a wave of water in front of him and then dabbing the brakes so he could follow the wave which would make the water shallower.

I think what i like most about these Ford vids is you get to see stupid people actually having to deal with their actions. Society isn't holding their hand through it. They actually have to think for themselves

They gray Kia @9:05 is a van with a wheelchair ramp. The company that installs the ramp has to relocate the exhaust and they often do it quite cheaply. That's why the exhausts sound like that.

Car had a side exit because of the disability wheelchair lift on the back. Interferes with OE exhaust path so you have to find another way to route the pipe and support it.

I'd love to be the guy to explain to one of them just how catastrophic the damage actually is and that their car is actually now a write off lmao Engines very often tend to be a third to a half of the total value of the vehicle, but let's assume you manage to get a used engine cheap, the cost to install is not going to be cheap, I don't know how evil the mechanics in the UK are, but in my country, that's about a quarter of the value of the vehicle again in labor and small parts. Your entire electrical system is also fried and the entire thing has to be replaced, also not cheap, especially to install, probably about a quarter the value of the car again. At the end of almost buying a whole new car, you now have an engine swapped shitbox with rust INSIDE your unibody frame that will fail most roadworthiness inspections in about a year or two when the rust fully sets in. Flood cars are always the cheapest cars on the market, and should always be avoided like the plague. To think that not only did a guy flood his car on purpose, this is a literal attraction that is infamous for having killed hundreds of cars in just the last year, and these brainlets still go ahead and kill their own cars too, having just watched the person in front of them destroy their car. Truly amazing content, think about it, where else can you see such an obvious display of stupidity, where the idiot immediately gets what they deserve? Literally amazing.

Always a Focus turning up making loud bangs, thinking people are impressed by it.

AdamC and Rufford's Deathtrap: Gotta love it

4:06 doggo doing a van drive

Man im addicted to these videos 😂😭 me and my mum like watching these and commenting on peoples cars and driving style lol. Glad I got here early 😎👍🏾 it's 5am in California

wow, that 7th time the "rough ford" joke was extra funny

What the hell? Those are $6000 engine replacements they are looking at... crazy.

Gonna do an engine delete lol 😂

The Escort Mk VI knew the score, he didn't try starting it again after it cut out, which is the point where people really screw up the engine. He pushed to the kerb, took out the spark plugs, then turned it over so it blow the water out, then soaked up what was left as best the could with a finger in a rag down the spark plug hole. Then he started it, and dried it out with the engine heat. Once he got it home i suspect he drained the oil off and topped it up with new.

Your commentary really making this better. A fun sport of some sort. And love reading the comments here more than other yt's that post.

Bro i was at sherwood forest centre parcs the other week and its right next to rufford ford, we went past it and remembered its closed

Missed a trick... It was an affordable rough ford, running ROUGH after fording through rufford ford :)

I’ve been watching the other channels doing videos on the ford for a few years now. Adam you’ve added an extra dimension 👍🏻

I live in Ollerton and have been visting Rufford since a kid with it only being 5 mins up the road, its only in recent years its gathered this much attention.

Knew that Escort was gonna die straight away lol the air intake ducting is directly on the front grile, any water hits the front its being sucked up. Wouldn't dare go through with a stock air intake, on mine I moved the intake to a cone filter in the wiper scuttle. Stays dry that way until water is windscreen level lol and has brought intake temps down to just one degree above ambient. As for the push with a bumper not the first time i've seen that done to an Escort- I've done it twice! First time I had my alternator fail on my way home the once, as i pulled into my estate battery died, my dad was behind me asked him to run home and grab the spare charged battery, two mins later he comes back WITHOUT the battery and goes 'I've had an idea, i'm gonna push you with my bumper' LMAO! Second time was the battery died and I had it as a bump start

I have been watching videos on other channels about this very ford for few years now. Every time I watch a new video I am asking myself, if these are new guys all the time or the same people who never learn from their mistakes...

we love stuff like this this is what you should be filming

12:00 Rough formerly affordable Ford fords Rufford ford; Ford roughly forces forward affordable rough Ford through Rufford ford.

This is just so much fun to watch

It’s never ending content gold 😂 people never learn

A friend knows the Mini (AU52) guy and he is almost sure it is modified. He is a local, he knows perfectly well what this is about, and he is not going to risk more than he has to.

Commentary is still top notch! "We definitely not tried" 😂

Looks like German and British verhicles hold up pretty neatly

WITTY commentary makes this the BEST of many splash vids. Lovely job!

I remember going through the ford on the way to school. No one around. No one filming. Peace and quiet. If it was flooded, we’d turn around and go the long way around. What’s happened to people?

So cool 9:15 side pipe because it's a wheelchairvan I think because of the weird rear bumper.

Nothing kills a 90s ford except max power and rust…

That big guy in the orange shirt with the Blue escort has been there in vids before, you'd think he would have learnt.

They inducted the wrong MC into the rock hall this year! Shoulda been Adam 😂🎉

Side exit onthe KIA Sedona is because its a motability vehicle and had a wheelchair lift fitted and the route it would usually take is now restricted so its routed to the side. Sadly no v8 fitted.

Go on numpties Rev it harder and bend the conrods even more

It blows my mind how stupid some people are, that it makes you wonder how they’re allowed a licence.

Hydro Lock episode 🤣🤣🤣

9:05 I havea Kia like that! It does go through high water... One day we couldn't use it mc of MLT and now I can't never use it again cuz it costs £300 even though my dad does car fixing he is not doing it on the KIA.

The ford escort got escorted out of the Ford but the best part of the video has to be at 0:35 with moves like that Adam could go on strictly Come RU-vidrs lol

🤣 "Double de-clutching, like in a Countach" LOL

People like that guy in the Focus RS are what will spoil this. He’s got no intention of using the ford, just wants to show off to the crowds.

It’s the blub blub mini again!!!

6:51 some people just enjoy chaos…. And I’m here for it 😂😂😂 he’s the new “sinister girl in front of burning house” meme.

9.22, side pipe as its got a wheelchair ramp in the back, its like a wheelchair accessible vehicle, hence a lot of stuff got moved so theres space for the ramp in the back

4:04 the dog waiting for his turn to cross the ford

04:04 the dog waiting for his turn lol

I see your channel some time back and lost it, thankfully found it again keep up the great entertainment folk :)

I have a Nissan CrashCry CVT auto. It sucks. The Escort was an affordable rough Ford fording Rufford ford. There is a clip of a moped guy hitting the ford at high speed and cartwheeling over the handlebars.

At 4:04 the dog in the blue van park up was thinking of whether to drive through or not !

that kia sedona you say has side exit i think was because its a wheelchair car if you look at rear

Towing a car by it's engine is creative but absolutely not ok 🤪🤪

brake disc sales must have doubled that day. :P

Adam has a proper BBC voice and style. Awesome videos, keep it up :)

I have a rough, affordable Ford F150 four by four I'd love to take through Rufford Ford...

Wonder how many fords there are throughout the country? Do any of the others have videos?

Connecting a hook to an actual engine to tow the car is one of a kind decision...

Show this in driving schools around the world! Rule of thumb is if the water level reaches the edge of the bumber and the doors its still doable just go slow. Any higher will just flood your interior and come dangerously close to the air intake. Thats around 20cm dept on most regular cars and maybe 30cm on an SUV or Van. Most of the cars going trough successfully were REALLY pushing it or they knew what they were doing.

I'll never drive through deep water again after killing my alternator on my FTO. Its not worth it.

11:25 Rip too this guy who tried to help

Glad I made part 2. I never thought I'd like videos like these....

can someone explain how every car dies because of water and people can not start it, or viewers say to some drivers to do not try to crank the engine, meanwhile this escort got lifted and the guy floored it and it runs okay now

4:06 THE DOG IN THE VAN, I'M CRYING

I actual thought that dog was driving the van I was gobsmacked

The dog in the truck and the one clap hand, I'm dying

big SUV's clearing the ford? sure but gosh, the sense of catharsis when a small plucky econobox does the sensible thing, wades through slowly and makes it to the other end.

4:05 that dog is thinking " I ain't gonna risk it!"

KEEP THE CONTENT COMING

I love the fact the people come to help others get out!

14:00 In fact,you can decarbonized an engine by gently dropping water to a running engine but preferably distilled water,

4.06 the special driver of thw blue van looks concerned the only way a Bull breed knows how 😂

I was surprised at 15:21 we get to see a ford turn into a boat car for a second ahaha

Well.... I started of thinking STF up, but then started appreciating the running commentary and finally hit the subscribe button. Damn (pun intended) you Adam boy 😁😉

"see their [Mercedes'] brakes are steaming from their track day" 🤣🤣🤣 HAHAHAH

This is all kinda stress inducing

Another awesome video. I must drive my skoda fabia mk2 1.2 tsi threw it lol. That black one was the 1.2 htp.

Brilliant video again,seen that Hulk van at car shows.

Love how the focus came to show off his shit pop and bang map 😂

It's funny what RU-vid has done for this Ford. For years it was never that popular to visit. A few kids watching from Rufford Park and that would be it. Look at it now, full of cameras 🤣

Kia has a side pipe because of the disabled ramp at the back

Love the dog in the van at 4:05 lol

Defenitively an very unic and EPIC channel,.here also in costa rica there is a lot of rural áreas with roads crossings Rivers...!!while enjoying your videos,please everyone stay safe while rivercrossing..Blessings🌞💪💯💦

why can't I stop watching these?

How much ford could a rough ford ford if a rough ford could ford ford

KIA got the side exhaust because it had disabled ramp installed at the back.

Shout out the the guy with the JH Diesel hat. Pleasantly surprised to see that in Europe.

Kia side exit exhaust is sadly a lot less exciting than we hoped … it has a wheelchair lift in the rear bumper, so no clearance!

10:48 everyone knew this would fail😂

The one handed clap 😂

"Pommies": they're easily pleased for what constitutes fun; as long as it means sitting on their arse!😳🤣

"blub blub blub blub"

And coming up next a yellow 350z with a broken soft top 😬

Just another day at Schadenforde.

Great presentation top content. This channel deserves to be through the roof ££££££🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I absolutley love the people in the cars that should definitely not be going through but they just gun it anyway. Those people know how to have fun lol. (that little kid going whooooa 12:49 when the bike goes through is adorable. that would have been me at that age haha)
