All this rain we're having...

I try to avoid the puddles, aquaplaning is no fun

I'll admit to it. haha, it's good fun. Only at low not so aquaplaney speeds, but in lanes and around town its got to be done .

A few nights ago me and a friend managed to get his 406 in a flood up to over the top of the alloys before realising it was probably not worth trying to get through! haha. We were going back down a road that wasn't flooded at all about 30 minutes earlier so assumed it'd be quite shallow only to find we were quite wrong!

A few years ago driving my old k10 micra,
I was driving in torrential rain on the a12 late at night, couldn't see very far in front of me so kept my speed down. Pulled off the road on to a slip road at the bottom of the slip road was a lake! It didnt look to deep so i didn't slow down to much.
I plunged into it at 30mph with a tidal wave coming over the bonnet The car kept running some how but was misfiring badly, so i kept going and eventually made it home. The air filter was soaked and half a mug of water was in the dizzy cap ;D Ever since then i've been a bit more cautious about puddles ;D

I avoid them in the Jag, just in case. :S

However in the Rangey i happened to come flying round a corner a couple of months ago and discovered that a pipe had burst and the whole road was covered in about 3 inches of water for 20 yards or so, I ploughed through it about 40mph which blanked out the screen completely for a second (happens a lot in a 4x4 cos they are so high they don't run over their bow wave and flatten it) i was fine, got the wipers on, but my mate who was in the back seat started laughing his head off, apparently the guy going the other way in the BMW mini had his drivers window open and was dowsed in brown water.

Not funny if your him i guess, but it was an accident and i cant help grinning at the expletives that must have come out of him and i did hurt me back trying to wash all the brown stuff off the roof of the RR.

Having said that, I omitted to say it is a lot of fun. however I have a snorkel on my Defender.

I do this in my Mondeo because I don't care much about the car and it's bombproof, I'm the inconsiderate b*stard who will send a tidal wave over your car as you're coming the other way for fun haha

I went blasting through a ford in my mini today, i got soaked thanks to the hole in the passengers foot well, was a good laught though

Only chance the golf has got of a good clean underneath + is fun so all round win apart from the rusty arches, ain't helping them much, but meh.

Mates dad got sacked from London transport for splashing a fella in a big puddle round Trafalgar sq. Did have to swerve to get him so guess the sack was fair enough and safer for all as he was half blind anyways.

try and avoid water splashes at speed
ok low speeds as got a snorkel on my vitara
however in my work ambulance thats a different story but had to clean it yesterday so next time will avoid deep water frollicks
