A bit wet today.

<< < (2/4) > >>

Gordo:


According to the caption, this ford is normally 1ft deep - what kind of muppet would just drive in regardless...?  :doh:

Some people really are stupid - which is why so many fords now have gates that get closed and locked if there's a light shower forecast  :x

There was a bit about the Essex flooding this morning on BBC Look East. They showed the black car that UKJeeper photographed with it's nose in a hole.

Then they showed a dark blue (?) Disco with a roof light bar driving through the water. Anyone we know?

Funny you should say that! i work for a merc main dealer and when we had all that rain in 2007 we had 28 cars in due to people trying to ford though swollen rivers!! and alot of them needed new engines cause they were scrap!!!  :shock: :shock:

 Had fun on the way into work this morning the police were diverting traffic of the Foss near Huningham on the hill Warwickshire whilest the council were try to clear 2 inches of Ice of one hill the diversion was sending the traffic down a road where the River Leam was now crossing and getting higher because of snow melt fortunately it was passable but I can image it won't be for to much long
 Any looking to play in fords would be advised to look at http://www.wetroads.co.uk as this has categorised most of the countries ford but be careful there can be some nasty surprises in bad whether as a lot of people have found out with Churchover here in Warwickshire it run under the road normally but can become impassable even in a 4x4 in bad whether.
