Rufford Ford Fails | part 4 

I've never seen so many drivers with the IQ of a flip-flop 😂

Legend has it, that Renault made it all the way home on the starter motor.

Can I just add a massive thank you to all these people totalling their cars for our entertainment! I have no idea what gives you the impression your family car can operate when submerged, but I for one am glad you do! Keep it up please! 😆😆

I'd say 80% of the cars that failed could have made it if they started slow, kept it steady and just built up a solid bow wave

I love that no one warns the people and they all just sit there filming it for our enjoyment haha

Mr Disco spent all his money on big fancy tyres and forgot a snorkel 😂😂

The recovery/repair garage owner in that town must be a billionaire by now!! 🤣🤦‍♂️

Oh dear! That's a bit embarrassing for the modded silver disco getting towed back through by a standard one. If only they had spent a few more pounds on a snorkel!

For anybody wondering why the cars often break down once they leave the water, it is because cars are naturally aquatic. They are fine when in water but then they realise how much they love it and as soon as you try to leave, the car wants to stay submerged. The exact same thing happens when you try to drive a submarine on land.

I especially love any discovery/range rover that goes down. Love it. they deserve it all, every inch of hydrolock, every cent of the garage bill.

You'd surely think seeing a broken down car in the middle or on the other side would be enough to put off the risk. Some interviews would be great

The clips where they think they’ve gotten away with it and go a few yards, before spluttering to a halt in a cloud of steam, are the best.

Greetings from the USA! kinda wish we had something like this locally. I'm no tourist but I'd fly out to the UK just to drink beer and watch this!

Awesome! The only vehicle that made it through unscathed was the American Jeep Wrangler😎🤣😂

It breaks my heart to see so many beautiful cars getting engine flooded.

Just goes to show, technique is everything. Most of these vehicles, especially the bigger ones, should have no problem crossing this. But when the driver insists on hitting the water at mach 3, it isn't going to work.

Always makes me laugh when a 4x4 or pretend 4x4 driver finds out how they are not as tough or go-anywhere as they thought.

Guy in the mondeo was the only one smart enough go go through it slowly and he came back opposite way too. Wouldn't risk it in a car myself.

Loved the Jeep. Looks like that Pub's the place to be, lol. Bow wave people, bow wave. As slow as you need, as fast as you must.

8:22 Children can really be happy... it comes from the heart.😂

Kudos though to the driver who used the starter motor to get themselves out of the water

Do people not realise that the moment you bow-wave the bonnet... Congratulations your engine air intake is also underwater...Id love to be a mechanic in this village... Lots of nice hydrolocked engines to deal with.

These 'car users' as I call them because they aren't drivers by any chance, have no notion how engines work, let alone where their intake is. Brilliant fun, thanks!

I love how it gives the locals hours of entertainment

There is nothing crueller than hearing the mocking laughter of children as you sit there in total humiliation 🤣

I would love to hear the views of local garages: I drove my car through 2 feet of water at 20 mph, it’s now broken, what do you think? Laughs uncontrollably and says I can’t wait to send you the invoice! What a bunch of absolute bellends.

I find it really bizarre how people can look at this ford and think "yeah, I can get through that". Especially when the depth marker clearly suggests otherwise.

I'd rather use the extra fuel and go the long way around than even consider going through water that deep and risking my engine.

Ive never see so many Knobs in my life !!!!! always thought they were around by how people drove this just proves it

The sounds of the hydro locked Renault was supper satisfying! listening to it drown to its death 😂😂

This could be a perfect learning aide for Einstein's Parable..."Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

USA here, I live on a road that floods frequently during the spring and fall when it's rainiest time of year. I see people fail at crossing the river all the time. The best advice is to slow down and keep the bow wave from crashing over your hood. Having a higher profile vehicle helps. The ford at 8:37 does a great job at this. Even though he had a small car he was able to cross just fine. Even when higher profile vehicles have failed. I typically cross water that has been high as my bottom seat cushion with nothing more than a stock air box. Just push the wave of water at a slow speed. Getting waterproof door speaks is a big plus. I got tired of replacing mine. Marine grade speakers will take the abuse. I can only imagine how much water damage repairs must cost.

Take the mile diversion or spend thousands on a new engine I know which one I would take

'Just needs drying out' is one of the best understatements

9:35 Jeep Wrangler FTW!!! 😎👍 No snorkel, dove in there head first at a high rate of speed and it still managed to start back up. Then backed up and went through the flooded area again with no problem. OlllO

A simple sign telling them to enter slowly, don't accelerate, would save a lot of engines. But it might have an effect on your content!

It amazes me how many don't know to go slowly through deeper water. But definitely is entertaining lol.

Some absolute smooth brains in this one! Quality content and some valuable lessons learned haha.

This has to be the ultimate windup, crowd of people standing around laughing at your misfortune, how devilishly good British humor.

I'm surprised there isn't a recovery and auto repair shop right on the corner. They'd make a fortune.

Fun for all the family here. Needs a snack wagon for hot drinks 😊. Happy new year (and thank you) to Tom and all viewers. An unhappy new year for all the drivers in this video

a visit to the local workplaces would be interesting. this ford keeps a whole city alive. dozens of wrecked cars. good businnes and keeps the garage alive.

I love these ones to failure ones are the good ones but one of the best things is hearing all the kids laugh and cheer it really does sound like a good atmosphere not so good for the drivers

Passenger: "You're a natural, ain't ya Tyron?" Driver: " 'Course I am.."

The silver land rover. 🤣🤣🤣 when your suspension costs 10 times more than the actual shed you put it on... The fact he got away with it once just... but then had to make sure he totally wreaked it he came back through for good measure. 🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️

WK2 Jeep had no issues it seems. Great videos!

Looks like we're importing stupid drivers now. As if we don't have a plentiful supply of our own. Thanks Tom!

Moral of this video: Land Rovers aren't submarines, they're still cars and need to be treated as such

I like the lady laughing at 04 seconds 😂🤣😂

I live near Rufford and have driven through this ford many times. It amazes me how many people don’t know how to drive through it. It’s entertaining though. 😂

That towrope been used quite a lot!! 😂😂

the bird in the mustard coloured jacket @12:05 hiding her face with embarrassment 😂

This is just hours of fun for everyone. If there’s a burger van around, I’d be there for the day.

That landrover at 11 mins with a cone filter in the engine bay... What was he thinking would happen

The laughing and pee taking from the locals tho is priceless 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

If everyone went through as fast as the Hilux im sure 98% of them would be ok

This place needs a livestream

Imagine driving up to that and thinking 'I'm going to risk thousands of ££' by driving through that. Then the sheer wave of regret as your car dies.

2:26 The car makes contact with extraterrestrials.

1:29 big brain power using the starter to get outta here ahahah

Hello! Nice video, you should only add a win/fail counter at the bottom of the screen. And maybe estimated $ cost of destroyed engines per day :)

Watching this I have to wonder if these drivers have IQ’s that run into minus figures…

Nice how the steamed-up windows hides their shame.....

It must hurt to wake up like these people 🤦

Renault Modus: "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!"👍😂

People wonder 🤔 why there's so many parked up cars on the side road...... because they all are knackered from the water 🌊 splash! 🤣🤣

12:55 "It just needs drying out!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

As for the silver 4x4 contraption; not much venom in it now I’m afraid.

The Disco without a snorkel.... Hahahaha

I love this because it reminds me that there are so many with more money than sense !

I'm guessing that BMW that went through on the first clip will be a little expensive to fix 🤣

The look of shame on the one life live it wife 😂😂😂

Firstly, know where your air intake is. Keep the water well below this level and then you only need to worry about floating away. Secondly, no need for all the speed. Dead slow and you can always stop and back out. Same thing applies whether you drive a 4x4 or a mini. Halfway up the wheels is always a good safe bet.

The local recovery truck drivers have now been able to retire at the grand old age of 35

Absolute menaces watching on the side with their cameras out hahaha i love this

Why do they do this when there is a bloody big sign " FLOOD ROAD CLOSED " and a depth gauge that reads about 2ft deep.

Remember boys and girls: if you see water in front of you, make sure to hit it at Mach 2 so you can have high pressure water blast through every cubic inch of your engine bay and get into the intake!

Mondeo man was the only one that knew where his air intake was and how to drive slowly enough not to cause a bow wave that would put water into it.

The engine on that white Ford Kuga was REALLY knackered !!

Is 1000 IQ and funny the guy in the Renault got stuck, but put the car in gear and drove out of the water only using the starter😂👍🏻👍🏻

These videos make for an interesting study into human behaviour. I presume most of the these drivers have seen these popular videos by now. Either people want to have their 15 seconds of fame or their judgement of probabilities are very poor. The 15 seconds of fame has little upside and large downside - i.e your car could break down and it would cost a lot of money to fix, as well as the large inconvenience of not having a car. The risk of failure increases with the type of car and water level. Most 4x4s make it at any height of water, anything else that is a car or even a van has a large probability of not making it. Which begs the question why take the risk in anything but a 4x4 or tractor? Anyway - keep doing the "Rufford Ford Challenge" people - you'll be famous on tiktok one day!

10:45 All the gear, no idea!

Who, in their right mind, would drive through tHAT, without a snorkel? I'd say half of the BMW's that break down in there, will end up being (even LESS) reliable, from then on....with all the fancy electrics.

hilarious when that little gray car begin starting itself out of the water and rocking back and forth lol

Best one I have seen so far :) Love the audience waiting for the carnage to commence :)

The Renault made noises like a cartoon car trying to start. Comedy gold.

Thanks for showing a bit more of the aftermath of the fails, something many have been asking that BEN person to do as well.

I love the SUV owners. "I drive an SUV so I can go anywhere." Well, maybe not

You can't fathom how expensive cars are where I live. Watching this gave me pure anxiety and a clenched buttox. Thanks !

More balloons than at Christmas! 😆😅🤣😆

hear those conrods snapping ,thousands of pounds worth of damage

Can you ask the drivers what they were thinking/how they feel now and record it? Seeing their reactions and faces would be great

Bruh, the bank is gonna be so pissed once it knows what you did to their bmw!

The kid laughing like Nelson Muntz at 8:25 🤣

This is top tier entertainment!! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing 🙏

The human condition at it's best, broken down cars with bonnet's up line the road a traffic sign which is readily available in the highway code warn's you but still ....omg no wonder you film these fool's man awesome watch ty.

Interesting to see an Irish reg ( white Ford Kuga)

This is just as fun to watch as Russian Dash Cams.

I’m going there for my holidays .looks a great laugh

What would p!$$ me off more is the kids shouting "do it do it" then laughing after.
