Grundy Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 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 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) 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! 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. Edited December 23, 2013 by GMballistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to admit (it works) but doesn't cut it with the wiper less rear window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) No problem HARMLU, ...just thought I'd give people a heads up in case they hadn't heard how good it was.

ioneabee Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 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" ??

SamN Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirag1988 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
