Unbelievable! DEEP FLOOD! || Vehicles vs Flooded Fords compilation ||  

What is unbelievable is not the height of the water, but the sheer stupidity from some people!🤦🏻‍♂️ Still, very entertaining!😬😬

2:15 - Lovely old Austin Seven, Lovely old couple, Lovely day, lovely photogenic English scene . . . . . everything's just *LOVELY!*

I love how the 100 year old car literally just DID NOT CARE. 😂

Lovely old Austin. Great to have you back Ben

When the driver realises their car is now a boat 😂

When you watch stuff like this you have to wonder how the human race has survived so long.

That jag at the start trying to get through 3 feet of water 🤦‍♂️ Also, great to see Brum can get through the floods!

Haha brilliant 😂 I felt a bit sorry for the guy with the jag at the start, but then I gave my head a wobble. Thanks Ben 👍🏼 I’m glad the Mk2 golf survived 🤙🏽🤙🏽

I like how the Range Rover at 1:20 stopped so they could run over the small branch too. Extra skill points.

You could hear the mini (2nd car) hydrolock and break a connecting rod. Not super loud, but audible.

Love the two shots of the little old timer and the truck going all the way through the flooded road. There is something immensely satisfying about watching them travel through it for 10+ seconds or so.

That moment when the BMW seemed to have survived....but then we see that it did not. What a relief!

Felt genuinely bad for the old fella in the Jag X-Type at the start..... But nobody else 😂

1:02 you heard that.. CRUNCH! The sounds of rods valves and all sorts kissing water and snapping and bending.. 🍻

The first scenario involving the Jag is the ford into our village (Naunton Beauchamp, Worcs.). The gentleman drove through despite 'Road Closed' sign placed at the egress from the village and Warning and depth indicated signage at the ford. He had medical issues which is why the ES were summoned. A kind fellow villager took him in to dry out and warm up. It is also deceptively dangerous in the summer when the ford is low due to slimy algae growth when just a few inches deep. A cyclist came off and broke his femur in the hot spell last year. Fortunately there was a couple with a RV parked there to help him, as the ford is about quarter mile from nearest residence. Dog-walking along there, we often warn cyclists to use the footbridge even if the ford has little depth, who sometimes retort in a rude manner. One such tosser came off after shaking head and tutting at us...oh the karma

Normally I'd laugh but I felt sorry for that old boy in the Jag 😢 Stones on you filming all these poor buggers though regards 😂

That lonely Mini cooper. There all by itself

Great content Ben - great that the little early 1930s Austin 7 RP saloon wasn't fazed at all !.

The Austin, oldest car there, made it through flawlessly 🤣

Holy shit, the fact the guy thought he’d drive his jag into 3+ ft of water and it would be fine is unbelievable.

If your car starts floating down the stream, you know you're in deep water.

Poor old man with the Jag🙈

Who sees a 3ft deep flood and thinks oh yes my jaguar will make that

Love the old car 2:19

I love when they start floating. Ha ha the walk of shame 🤣

Love that water depth indicator so clearly hidden from view 😂😂😂😂😂

Damn.. wouldnt take that risk if I had an M4

Good to see how alert they are to the sign that clearly says 3ft (1m) of water. I wonder how good their driving skills are in terms of driving with undue care and attention. Duh.

Yes Ben on tour brilliant video

Awesome video Ben 👍🏻

👏👏👏 THANKS BEN ......HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY EVERYONE ✌️

Uh oh, we've got a floater! 😂

The first clip - that of the old guy driving into Seaford ford - baffles me. He can only have come from the village of Naunton Beauchamp, there is no such thing as "through traffic" on that stretch of road. I do not understand how he could have been unaware of the risk given how often that ford floods. Trust me on this, I've driven through (and turned back from!) that little ford plenty of times. I even tried to ride a bicycle through it once. Never again. It is unbelievably slippy! I fell off as does everyone else daft enough to try it.

Shame about the Mini - looked like a decent one, pretty rare sunroof car, chilli pack, etc and also judging by its MOT history - only 58k miles.

The place even looks like Rufford Ford with the bridge etc!

2:10 proves that old is gold

0:10 you should add the soundtrack of “we are sailing” with this

Poor old chap in his Jag, first time I have felt sorry for one of these drivers.

Ha the mini ‘let me ram water directly into my engine’

Just like Rufford, some of the drivers must be braindead. Cracking video 👍🏾

Surely the star of the video is the Austin 7 ! Breezed it and probably didn’t even get any water inside….well…maybe a small amount.

Nearly a Metre on the first flood, my SUV is only rated for 500mm so I wouldn't try it. But in a normal car? crazeee!

He should have turned his wipers off or he's gonna flatten the battery 😁

Two depth signs showing the water at 1m... carries on driving up to them... tries to drive past them. What the feck is the matter with people.

The wade of shame 😂

When 3 feet deep is seen as a challenge

Rumour has it the mini is still there to this day, watching every other car make drive on by. Lol

And the black mini is still there to this day 😂

The depth board is clear obviously the on switch for their brains isn’t!😊

I'm laughing, but also crying at the rank stupidity and waste!

Some speed into it so fast it reminds me of the log flumes at a theme park.😂

Great footage. Mate 👍

Clearly driving in at 40mph is the best way to hydrolock your engine. That mini is an example of that.

1:02 - that Mini engine made some hideous clattering sounds. I'd say it sucked some water in, hydro-locked then bent a few things. Expensive! 2:33 - while all the modern cars with their front wrap-around skirts, bumpers, air-dams and spoilers throw up big bow waves, the old Austin 7 just cruises on through with no bow-wave to fill the engine bay.

Was going to say how did the Red BMW estate keep going ……next shot..it didn’t 😮😮

Just unclog the drain and be done!😂

very relaxing to watch asmr

When the insolent river won’t recede for my Jag.

0:22 Ist aber auch blöd, dass da nicht ein Schild steht wie tief das Wasser ist 😂🎉 Nein, es sind gleich zwei Schilder 😅 Bei 80-90 cm kann man vielleicht noch mit einem Unimog durchfahren - aber doch nicht mit einem PKW, in dem Alter sollte man das wissen

I was in a car with a friend and water was coming up the bonnet but we made it through then for miles after the engine coughed and he asked if he should stop and dry the plugs. I said it might be best to keep going and let the engine heat dry things out. Don't forget to dry off the brakes after or you won't be stopping.

I've watched Channel grow like crazy

The good old Austin had no problems :D

Who knew so many cars are rightoffs due to flooding. And all through the drivers negligence too 😂. Bit scary buying second hand

The jag driver at the start, how thick can you be? Unbelievable 😂

SERIOUSLY WHAT A BELL END 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤬

Don't think the window wipers are going to help on that first car 😂

Jag driver just gets out leaves the door open and the wipers on, you know what he's thinking "this is somebody else's problem now".

I bet the local insurance companies love these channels. 😄

The red BMW 🤣

Depth markers both sides, should have got to spec savers. Always good to know how much water your vehicle can swim in.

the little ramp at each end of the ford could of literally of solved the problem of the speeding idiots at rufford ford....they should just install some humps.....problem solved

Nice vid Ben 👍

What are these people thinking 🤣🤣🤣

funny how jag driver had is wipers still on😂

Thank you so much!

Those depth indicators are there for a reason.

i love how the range rover lowered the suspension after

The "smoke" you see when a car drives through flood water is actually vapor that is being produced by the water coming into contact with hot engine parts like the exhaust system or the brakes. When water splashes up onto the engine and gets hot, it quickly turns to steam, which can look like smoke. This can happen even if the engine is not running, as long as it's still hot. The steam can also be a sign of damage to the engine or other parts of the car, so it's best to avoid driving through flood water whenever possible.

There are clear markers indicating the depth of the water!

The salesman at jag needs to stop selling these as submarines

That’s why going through the ford like that one very deep absolute no chance because that’s what’s gonna happen you end up have your car sinking

I cannot believe seeing so many people knowingly drive into a "trap" with their expensive cars.

This is my weekly meditation

Simply people not thinking because their inside a car! Stop and think! The depth gauge is surrounded by water way down the road...so the stream is extra high. They drive in at high speed causing a big bow wave which floods the engine.... exactly the wrong approach. Those same people would not have rushed into the water if on foot...but stopped and thought.

The old guy in the Jag must have thought the sign showing almost 1 metre deep water was some kind of sick joke.

I once had to drive through something worse than this. Not by choice. It was at the tip of Windermere and the road was flooded. There were cars behind so I couldn’t go backwards. In front of me was a 3 series BMW which had flooded sat in the middle of the road. I prayed as I went for it. Miracle that I made it through but it left a hell of a mess.

The 🔔 end in the bmw was the best. Typical 4x4 driver thinking their invincible. Bet that was costly 😂😂

unbelievable!! most stock 4x4 can go like 2 feet deep unmodified.... and here goes the guy in Jaaaaag atackin 3 feet deep of water :)

I've been Jonesin for some Flooded Fords!

Why would you attempt to drive a car through 3 ft of water? Ah the Austin 19 inch wheels are a good start!

The new version of the ford

The arrogance of the white range sport coming out of wade mode when he cleared the ford 🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Seeing that Jag sink broke my heart

To bad for TRASHY's mini, a good hydrolocking :(

Bro theres no way u just stood there recording the poor old lady lmfao

Sorry for the question. What are the hourly rates for car repairs in the UK? I assume something like 1.2 British pounds an hour?

I see the local tow truck driver and his wifes got matching Ferrari,s 😊

Stupidity will never die...

Clearly shows the water is 3ft in the 1st one. Not sure any standard car is rated for that depth. The deepest I’ve read about are Land Rovers at 900mm which is about 3 ft, wouldn’t risk it, even in one of those.

For those wondering why some cars make it and some don't, here are some truths. 1. Back when cars' air intakes were generally in the engine bay and the electrics were not that waterproof, a bow wave was a good idea. Wave at front, low trough by the engine. 2. Now, most cars have the air intake facing forward, some, but not all, sideways or shielded, at the front, just behind the grill plus very water resistant electrics. So, anything post-1970s, going very slowly to minimise a bow wave keeps the water from the air intake. In nearly all the fails you can see a body of water being pushed into the grill... 3. If you suddenly find the water is visible at bonnet height, lift off the throttle. You might find that water that's got up the pipe and into the air filter box will drain from it before getting sucked into the engine, or at least, only a bit of it. You'll have seen cars with steam from the exhaust which have had a narrow escape by easing off quickly. 4. Water will not block the exhaust of a running engine. Even one that's started while the exhsust is full of water will start and blow the water out.
