Tonights Rain!!!!!!!

[Grundy]

Wow, the weather coming home from work was the worst I'd ever driven in before.

 

Coming back from Petersfield on the A3 was horrendous!!! Parts of the road were starting to flood up, wind was actually making the car move!

 

The worst bit was, for about 5 minutes of the journey the rain was so bad that the wipers had no effect :surrender: the roads pretty much came to a halt.

 

I'd consider my self a confident driver in all weather, but that was the 1st time where I was like Sh!t this is quite serious, one wrong move and things are going bad fast!

 

 

 

Just all stay safe out there fella's!

[Humpy]

Ive been driving the van all over Hampshire today and wasnt fun at all, a fair fews tree's down and flooded areas. Same again tomorrow

[GMballistic]

It is really bad in places I've heard. Lot's of localized flooding around here too.

 

On another note ~ have you tried this stuff called GTechniq G1 Clear Vision smart glass grundy225?; http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/74568-g1-clear-vision-smart-glass/

 

I've found it make's a massive difference in the rain, last for age's and I couldn't recommend it enough.

[HARMLU]

Had to get the zed out today as haven't had it driving for nearly 4 weeks! Today of all days! Praise The Lord for rainex (highly recommend by the way!)

I've got it on both of mine! thoroughly recommended!

[HARMLU]

Haha I should have read it all before posting about rainex. Might try this other stuff next time! I never realised until today how good the stuff is!

[Grundy]

Yeah, I've used it before, I usually just polish up the window when polishing the car, does the same effect. Just since I've had the car, weather has been too crap to spend ages cleaning it.

Sure rainex works good too but this Gtechniq stuff is on another level in comparison (imho). Expensive for the small bottles that you get in the kit but it is more than enough to do all the glass on our Zeds & that's with 3 coats on the windscreen too.

 

Put some on my windows around 2+ months ago now and it's still just as good today.

Thanks will try it next time. Have to admit (it works) but doesn't cut it with the wiper less rear window

Alright here, there's a small section of the U.K without a weather warning....I'm in it . Got another warning out for Friday though, we're in that one .

Rained a bit here too, but then it is winter so hardly surprising.

I don't know . . there is a really bright yellow object in the sky above me . . surrounded by blue stuff and a few fluffy things

[Ekona]

And people with weird accents. Plus you're much closer to those weird Merkins than us

[ioneabee]

definition as per wikipedia

 

"A merkin is a pubic wig. Merkins were originally worn by prostitutes after shaving their genitalia, and are now used as decorative items, erotic devices, or in films, by both men and women. The female version is usually made of fur, linen or some soft version of cloth, while the male version is usually made of loops, chains or metal, much more closely related to the codpiece"

 

??

[Ekona]

American. Not my term, but it like it so I nicked it

[ioneabee]

what - so americans call themselves "Merkins"

[Ekona]

No, a mate does!

 

No relation to pubic wigs either!

[Humpy]

Ha the famous Merkin word. Love it! The word merkin is used a lot with my of friends

[AMT]

Driving to get my two new Falken 453 rears on the Friday and the rain was brutal, so glad I've got new rubber, standing water was everywhere! Bum clench moments a plenty going to get them fitted haha

Fixed that for you Dan

[SamN]

Agreed this weather is terrible. I'd also class myself as a confident driver but there have been a couple of moments recently where I've been shitting myself!

 

It's not what you do, it's what others do (or don't!!) - I have seen some crazy things on the roads the last week or two. People just don't seem to look.

 

Needless to say I'll be sticking to the 350Z and keeping the bike tucked up in the garage unless we get a particularly nice day.

[Grundy]

Right now, I feel like my house is about to lift off! all the street car alarms are going off :scare: :surrender:

[Roscoe]

Nothing here in Bedford. Slight breeze every now and then!

We got the wind pounding against the house here in London. Looks like it's here to stay the night! Stay safe everyone who's out driving, mainly from other idiots out there who don't have a scooby how to drive in British weather
