The only ones that handled this crossing really well were the ducks.
Looked as though they were having a good bit of fun, eh?

And the lambo lol
Some very talented drivers here, keeping just the right speed to drown the air intake 😂
Noticed same thing lol. Trying to get engine flooded
I was especially impressed by the defender 90 at 0:55 that should have had no issues given the depth if he hadn't bulldozed into it.

Only two things are probably infinite: human idiocy and the universe. I’m not entirely sure about the universe yet.
The Ford focus lmao
Dude with the massive lifted SUV takes it nice and slow while everyone with the vulnerable vehicles goes full blast lol
I was backpacking down a country road. There was a railway bridge over the road, and where the road dipped under it, it had been flooded. The only way for me to get through was to go sideways along a ledge above the water.
When I was about halfway across I saw a yellow Ford Capri approaching. I feared the worst, and sure enough they ploughed into the water to soak me. Luckily the water didn't reach high enough, and I just finished the crossing.
Looking up the road, the car had ground to a halt, so I just walked disdainfully past without a pause.
Having just read up on the destructive effects of hydrolock, I have gained a new satisfaction from this memory!
3:22 The Benz lost his plate lol 😂
Lmfao good catch!
Magic trick
It's the dirt
Holy crap that was a s-class Mercedes....pretty expensive car.
Went Full James Bond Spec 🤣
You know when your terrible at driving through water, when you kill a defender in 2ft of the wet stuff.
operator error ,
Drilled air box for extra ponys 🤣
@@highdownmartin Between each ear...
Somethings been changed on that defender as there’s not a chance the water would get into the air intake doing this!
It was only 1 foot of water according to the gauge.
Still, a JLR vehicle even getting to the ford is something they'll be proud of.
gotta love the surfing ducks at 1:20 🦆🏄♀
It’s important to know where your intake is located and how well it deals with water.
It's more the case of knowing how to drive a proper Ford.
You see it here when the locals go past all the new 'SUVs' in their small hatchbacks. It's mostly technique in creating and sustaining the bow wave.
At best soaked air filter, at worst bent piston rods.
Electric generator and starter too, they hate water
I always know where my engine air intake is in case I find my self in this situation. Doesn’t everybody.
That`s right and as i explained above, most modern cars nowadays have the air intake behind the wing, down by the wheel. Years ago they used to be on top of the engine, about 20 years ago, i had an old MK2 Granada that had the air filter on top and i came across a flood on my way home, everyone was getting stuck in the middle, but i went straight through with no problem, because i knew the engine.
This short stretch of Road, probably gives engine rebuilders more revenue than anywhere in the UK 🤣
Good to see Lambo using their off road vehicle expertise even in their supercars 😉
@@highdownmartin with side air intakes.

@Alen not true. AWD will not help if ground clearance dosent exist, tires are 3 times too wide amd power is 3 times too big. I would outdrive AWD Lambo on snow in FWD Skoda Octavia 1,9 TDI
@@zepter00 I was out in my lambo the other week in the snow. I was passing no end of other cars that were stuck. As @Alen said in most cases the lambo just like most AWD cars would be better than FWd. Pretty obvious really
I'm impressed with how the Beetle survived, considering they went full-send.
No one told him the engine is in de front now... 🤣
VW baby!!!!!!
No opening in the hood or front, except really low down for the intercooler and the air filter box his behind the battery nearly under the windshield.
Say what you want but the lambo owner knew what his car could handle due to engine placement and intake placement... good entry speed and kept going through... He did it proper
rear engined lambo with air intakes at the bag, only thing in the front is the boot.
@@hassan123456killa You added absolutely nothing to OPs comment. He literally said the same thing.
What they didn't anticipate is that it's built like a sieve and will let water in the cabin just about everywhere.
@@leebenstead7171 again good entry speed any pushed right through meaning the water was pushed away if you know how to drive through water you know what I'm talking about
@@hassan123456killa the gallardo is mid engine not rear engine
The Lambo - the benefit of having a rear mounted engine. I still wouldn't take nice expensive cars through that much water. It's very foolish.
Problem is the air intakes are at the side. He was lucky it wasn’t deeper.
@@raftonpounder6696 Good point.
@@raftonpounder6696 intakes are on the top.
I don’t think the Lambo got away plane sailing, he slowed right down then you could hear a belt screeching.
@@leebarrett9581 Probably got the dashboard lighting up like a Christmas tree lol.
I love seeing that lifted Range Rover. Always good for a great splash and, as far as I've seen, a gentleman who helps those that drowned their vehicles.
He likely charges for it though, as he should! Not that it makes him less of a gentleman. Dude probably makes a living from these idiots 😂😂🤌🏻
Them ducks are harder than a scrap yard dog , totally fearless 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had a Corolla AE101 big body with those big flat circular intakes on top of the engine (the filter cover was like a metal dish). I was able to go through floods here in the Philippines that were about knee height. I didn't understand why people were so squeamish about it because where I lived we went through river crossings with these sedans. We also learned not to make a huge splash on the initial water contact and keep positive pressure on the exhaust by never letting the engine idle - always with a bit of gas so water can't go in from the back.
Now that’s how you do it…! Slow and steady and Keep the rpm’s relatively high and consistent…
because it's AE101 with manual i'm guessing? the automatic transmission more "sensitive" to flood, especially if the driver not put to Low gear before entering the water
Do not accelerate or deaccelerate when car is in the water,keep the throttle constant,if u increase the throttle,there would be more water coming inside the engine,nd if u decrease thn there would be increase in pressure in engine,to keep the vehicle going. Acceleration nd deacceleration works like a nozzle. U can even see,those who drive at the constant speed through water,be it a small car,they r passing easily,like the lamborgini guy,he didnt increase or decrease the speed while in water.
@@rahulsharma-ht7ut 0:23 he kept steady speed and failed. It depends on where your intake is more than anything else.
As the water rises, I see this being a fantastic source of entertainment (at others expense) this winter. Thanks for taking the time to film/edit/upload
There's a thought....does this ever freeze over? That would cause some issues.
can someone explain why the cars stop running? and the white smoke that follows?
@@doctor_who1 it's the Genie escaping... they used all their 3 wishes
@@doctor_who1 water is sucked in and destroys engine... So water and engine not good
@@doctor_who1 inside the engines, the pistons go up and down, compress the air and fuel is added for combustion. The cycled repeats. Air is quite squishy and relatively easy to compress. Water is NOT compressible at all, so if water gets sucked into the air intake and makes it’s way into the pistons, that causes problems. If it’s just a few droplets or so, it shouldn’t be much of a proplem, but if the quantity of water vs air being sucked in is too high in water, the pistons can’t compress it and the rods get bent and then, byebye engine 😢
The Jeep croaking it at the slightest bit of moisture, the landy defender too, hahaha! God there's some right chelsea tractors in that area...
The Defender is hardly a Chelsea tractor. The worst offender is that awful Jeep Renegade which isn't actually a Jeep, it's a Fiat 500 L
i'm constantly surprised at how most of RR Evoque models that drive through here always make it. i don't know if i'm just imagining it but that seems to be the case
That’s a Fiat built Jeep. Perfect for drowning
A typical Fix It Again Tony Jeep. Not even a proper Jeep.
@@mylifeasmanta it's tougher than its handbag clientele will ever know
2:33 that beetle just shocked me
Props to the engineers! Build the road through the river not over it 👌
He did it…as a joke hahaha.
It's a ford. The water is usually nothing more than a puddle.
You know you’re rich when you risk driving your Lamborghini through a flood 😂
Well, in this case risk is not that high, beacuse Lambos have engine on the rear.
@@kissland2789 I still wouldn’t risk it if I had one 🤷♂️
To be fair the water is not that deep and is fine as long as driven properly
@@kissland2789 mid engine, not rear
This is not a flood. This is a ford. It always has water crossing the road. Sometimes it is just deeper.
Surfing ducks 1:20
i LOVE that beefy old range rover that just pulls everything out when it gets stuck.
Gotta love the surfer Ducks! Wait for the wave dude... Point Break!😆
This seems about the perfect water level to inspire overconfidence!
and aspire water
Always baffles me when I watch these vids how little common sense is in some of these people for driving through flooded fords - like we’re talking of the kind who will show off by accelerating and make a giant splash and then they flood their air intake 😂 so embarrassing yet hilarious to watch!
@yossarian Never heard of that, tbh.. I'd have some questions if people around be thought a wet exhaust would kill a car
@yossarian I'm embarrassed to say I was one of them, until I saw these videos and the attached comments. Very appreciative of some of the info I get off CZcams.
@yossarian That's not true, particularly for diesels. A large quantity of cold water going into the exhaust will cause thermal shock and crack the catalysts and DPF particularly. Not to mention, sand and silt getting into these components will cause clogging and permanently create an obstruction.
@@DMAX-tp4pc interesting comment. I don't know how or indeed if that would work in the uk but I do know that insurers this side of the pond are very good at taking your money but also very good at avoiding a payout. In this instance I would guess that if you were local the insurers would say that you should've known better and if you lived a long way away they would probably want to know why you were on a country lane miles from home. I think your best chance of getting away with it would be if you drove through it at night, you could then argue that you were on an unfamiliar road and in the darkness had no idea how deep it was until it was to later, even more plausible if you could say that there were other vehicles driving through it?
How about the lack of common sense to build a bridge right there for vehicles
Just imagine living here and being able to watch this free quality content live from your window 💀🔥
Its is just unbelievable that the drivers are still going, look how many compilations this author already made :D Thank you so much, we all aprreciate
Few unlucky drivers today 🙄…..thanks for sharing 👍🏻
The big advantage of that Gallardo was, that the intakes sit higher on the sides of it and it's mid-engined not front engined where the water could have entered.
Heh. Yeah, no.
That’s true, the 2010+ had that feature
@@revolutionday1 *YEEEEEESSSSSS*
The engine intakes aren't on the sides, they're on top of the rear fenders. The side vents are for the rear brakes.
He was also smart taking it slow, not allowing a bunch of water to build up and flow over the front of the car. Plus it looked like the water was not that high.
Most of these wouldn’t have an issue if they didn’t drive so quick!
Yep
Or backward
They’re afraid of getting stuck in the middle
@@CrispyHulk1 it's true. Natural instinct is to floor it when you think you are about to get stuck
@@buddysshop1860 can’t fault them for it, especially if they’ve never encountered such a thing before. Learning about air intakes etc isn’t a requirement for a learners license after all

That lambo driver did well! I was NOT expecting that to go well - good job!
I'm addicted to these videos.
The road does have signs saying “closed due to floods”. I walk this park frequently but aware that locals like the signs left up so as not to create a rat run. Fortunately we are getting entertaining videos …. Brill job 🤩
How did that plank manage to get water into the intake on a defender, its over a meter off the ground on the side of the wing lmao
How it's driven I guess
The air intake tubing inside the engine bay isn’t very secure where it connects to the wing, there could have been an opening that got a load of water thrown in it.
I love the geese surfing the waves from the cars!!!
Why haven’t I seen this ! This is fantastic. One minute watching car oil changing , to a traveller in Saigon , to food trucks in Hawaii , Thankyou CZcams ..Lol
I like how the jeep was driven in relatively sensibly and broke anyway

At the first few shots shows the water level still safe for low floor vehicles to cross.
The smokes from the car looks so magical..🤔👍@4.14
Amazing...😬
These are the best videos.
Strangely entertaining but I'm always left wondering why the drivers do not simply find another route
The other route is short and easy - this is a well known local ford - and I think many people make a point of driving through it because it's fun, until it goes wrong.
maybe they cant turn around while everyone is watching.. must be more shameful than killing the car..
@@LashlayDS9 I wouldn't give two tosses about people watching. I'm driving my car, not them. If I see that level of water, I'm shoving the car in reverse and going back up the road.
People are naturally lazy that’s why they can’t be bothered to find an alternative route. If their vehicle is ruined then it serves them right. Tbh I’ve got no sympathy for them.
Nothing better than to drive through the Ford in a Ford
It’s hilarious the amount of people that slow down for the water, yet gun it as soon as they are in the water.
Burst out laughing as soon as I saw the Fiesta, even before it had got anywhere near the water...no chance 😂
Lmao the kids laughs woulda had me heated
best way i've crossed floods like this is in 1st gear at idle rev , just went on it's own . there's a guy in America with some pick-ups explaining how to handle these situations and explains all the hidden damage you can do .
Look how careful that Lamborghini is taking as it was coming to the Ford
Daaamn the benz 😂😂😂
Whenever I have bad day I go watch these. I love how people have no idea how an engine works and where their air intake is lol some of these cars even have so called low intake as well lolll
I love how no one tells them to stop or slow down. Just let em on through and roll the tape.
There are plenty of signs warning them that there’s a ford ahead and when it’s really deep there’s a big sign saying the road is closed. They are responsible for what they are doing, nobody else.

I’ve watched loads of these, and apart from the vehicles who have to stop because they buggered their engine up I can’t recall seeing anyone trying their brakes to dry them off a bit before they speed off…
I don't think on modern cars with disc brakes it's that necessary, I think old drum brakes were more affected by this sort of thing.
@@chriswalker83cw famous last words… I’ve certainly experienced it with my disk brakes. Also it doesn’t hurt to check. Just pushing the pads onto the disk squeezes the water out.

2:10 - RIP to the Fiesta. Scrapped between March 2021 and March 2022 (its most recent MOT expiry)
I lived on a street in my last house where the street was prone to flooding, improper drainage, etc...I can't tell you how many times I watched people in cars or all sorts, try driving though grill level water only to kill their motor... Luckily with the car half submerged, the vehicle was more boyant making them easier to push through a water treaded street...
Would be fun to see follow up videos with a full engine teardown on some of these vehicles... You'd see connecting rods bent like banana's...
Amazing how many of the locals stand and watch vehicles drive through a Ford 😂😂
Impressed with the Lambo👍🏼
Love that bobtailed range rover, cool truck
I absolutely love these vids but I simply cannot understand how stupid some people are.. why on earth would you take a car through this and take the chance..😅
Going through it is fine. When you have no clue how to drive through water, not so much.
As Dan R said......it's about driving attitude.
Its the same in heavy rain, snow, ice, fog, night time.......idiots try to drive way beyond the conditions, and their own abilities.
Fords and floods are no different.....
I really don’t understand why people genuinely think that foot the floor will help them get through water - you can tell the 2 or 3 that have obviously had good experience with driving through deeper water.
@@stevebroughton4787 Couldn't agree more, drive to the conditions. They've no mechanical sympathy for their vehicles, as a comment on previous video said - it's a magical box to most.
