I reckon that all that wet stuff is coming from all those Space Ship runners checking their door bungs!

Still can't see out of the back tho'!

Sorry Charles, that would heve been me

I went down to the carpark lunchtime and removed all my bungs - then the sun came out.

Its pretty stable in deep water, provided you take it easy and keep the wheel straight and make sure that you don't try anything too deep or you will wreck the engine!

How do you propose to corner with the wheel straight, I don't have a rudder on mine!!

Just referring to the big floods a couple of weeks ago. I didn't have my Civic then, but was considering changing my order to add a propeller accessory!

PS: No offense meant regarding drinking habits

I was caught in a thunderstorm yesterday evening... Someone was pouring bucket of water on the road... And the car was perfect !... until I crossed a newborn muddy river crossing the road...

First aquaplaning with the car, and no problem !
