Rich Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 F1 qualifying stopped cos of it. This rain is annoying me now though, I have so much I need to do on the cars and I had Friday off plus I've got Monday off.

Rich Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 This rain is seriously getting on my nerves now. I had Friday off work, the weekend and today....all it's done is rain so nothing has been done on the cars. I need to try and get the oil change done on the Escort this afternoon, plus I have jobs on the Civic and Corolla to do. Plus my boot keeps getting soaked, I just want it to stop for few weeks, is that too much to ask for! To top it off we STILL have a hosepipe ban in this area, crazy!!

Rich Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 So it is, good timing, I'm off to wash the Escort now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Was in South London yesterday in torrential rain, looked like drains were overflowing as there was water everywhere. In one place it looked like a manhole had raised itself out of the ground - car in front of me drove straight over it which didn't make a good sound.

Rich Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 It was the same in St Albans yesterday, floods everywhere from blocked drains. That don't sound too good driving over a manhole cover, did you go around it then? It's started raining here again and I'm just about to wash the Escort, now where's me anorak!!

andyelcomb Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 What was going on at Brands then Lots of MX5s racing. I was also there but working at the Rally School - we like the rain, it makes it mega slippery so the customers have no choice but to learn a lot about car control!

parthiban Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 That don't sound too good driving over a manhole cover, did you go around it then? Yep managed to get around it, could easily have ripped the exhaust off as it was up quite high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Lucky you spotted it then. I got 2 cars washed yesterday, almost finished mine when it chucked it down so just carried on...saved me having to dry it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
