• Just wanted to share this to help @wools assess the fordability of various models. Can't believe I keep watching these videos to the end:

    N.B updated to a video that doesn't mostly show Discos.

  • Why do they all attempt to speed up as they enter the water? This makes absolutely no sense? Is there some reverse physics logic to this that im not aware of??

    Who is this prick that just stands there filming people & waiting for them to fuck their engines up instead of warning them of imminent danger!?!

    I was thinking this, but there must be a lot of cars that make it through - it can't be that every single one that trys fails.

    What's the best technique? From that video, I gather that smashing it and greating a massive rip curl (what I would probably do) isn't the best.

  • I guess fording rivers is not on the driving test yet. @christianSpaceman, also I understand keeping revs really high (as you move slow) will prevent water from finding an opportunity to work it's way up the exhaust. Easy with a low-range box but you often have to slip the clutch if you're not in a 4x4.

    I'm not obsessive, I've only watched about 15-20x of these videos. But it looks like it's a normal day out at Rufford ford involves taking the kids out to watch the fun. There's a lot of 4x4 owners who clearly just drive through repeatedly to try and cover the bystanders in water. This results in woops of elation from the kids.
