Rufford Ford Fails | part 5

[@davidhunt6463]

It's always a special delight to see the weekend warriors in their 4x4s, who've waited all year for a 2 ft deep puddle to appear and are now smugly satisfied, falling victim to the ford. All that vindication for behaving like a total moron all year is swept away like so much water down a slightly swollen stream. Your videos are very appreciated, thank you.

[@RustyZipper]

It’s even more satisfying knowing that they spent more on their car than most folks home only to hydrolock it!
