Graham 62 can be seen removing the road closed signs in all of these videos.

They are rather addictive viewing.
To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

The new Lithuanian car wash opens for business. Underbody cleaning a specialty. :)

It's not too bad when not in flood but there's always the one idiot who thinks he can be clever. Got away with a broken leg I believe?  :crazy:

I've watched quite a few of those, and many made me laugh out loud.
Hmm, should I go through slow?  Nope I'll go through fast and cover the front of the car in water!  :violence-smack: lol

It's not that some people are stupid as much as that so many people are stupid. There are roads nearby that can be used to avoid the ford.

Water pressure builds up from the opposite slope and as the water flows down the stream it drags the car with it. I think the stream is shllow just there as a number of cars go quite a bit further down there.
Some may think I've a lot of time on my hands and they'd be right. Since the August camp my leg has been very mushy and most days I can't stand up or walk much. So I sit with my leg up watching TV youtube etc. On the bright side I have now got a hospital appointment for 11th January 2023.

This ford is two miles from my house the council have now closed the road off as from 2nd December. The lad on the bike had just started working at the restaurant were my son works in centre parcs, his main injuries are both legs are badly broken.

They do, but only when it's cold and wet outside.
