Do the folks of Rufford go to the ford for a few hours just to video cars getting wrecked? Ha I assume a lot of them are shorted electrics an not water in the engine? Unless they are french we’re they thought it was a good idea to have the air intake on the bottom of the front spoiler 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It only takes a drop of water to kill a Diesel engine why would anyone follow the french when the early espaces were blowing up going through a puddle, probably because it sells more cars same as cam belts instead of chains Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bush Rummager 3,752 Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Just down the road from me too. Watched a bit last night as popped up in my feed. My gaffer actually wiped his 70k Merc minibus out in there last year. Wasn't even that deep at the time but apparently it's something to do lack of protection to the electrics that are exposed under there. Teach the flash cnut a lesson i suppose!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dogmandont 9,329 Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Used to go flood hunting in my 1991 12 valve corolla when I was young and daft, good crack and that wee car never stopped once. Just ride the clutch with high revs and it just kept going. Lol. Did put 2 engines in it but that was the high revs and my lead foot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bush Rummager 3,752 Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Nothing really.. but i managed to drag the females around Rufford lake today. (big achievement). Shame we've not had a deal of rain recently, it was only about 6" deep. Was one or two up for a laugh and some kids shouting them on!! ) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
