Default Sunshine!

Well it seems we are well and truly heading into my first S2000 summer. For the last few days, I've been able to drive to work with the top down and heaters off!

The only draw back to the sunshine seems to be that it really makes some people jealous. For the second day running I've had some one in front try and soak me using their windscreen washers. To be honest I just laughed as the water goes straight over the top of car anyway, but WHY do they this????

Just be careful of buggers doing it alongside you, as the wipers throw big globs of water in your direction!

No! That's one of my pet hates, along with middle lane drivers. All though to be honest, I've done the windscreen washer trick to a few people who have tried sticking on my back bumper before. The drop down a gear trick works quite well too - if you are prepared the risk!

Anyway I've got there faces memorised and if I ever see them walking along the street I'm going to get them back with the headlight washers!

Not guilty!

Obviously they soaked my windscreen - not that I gave them the satisfaction of knowing this my using my wipers - but nothing got in the car itself.

Maybe its just a low sun and they are trying to clean their windscreen - or is that too much of a conspiracy theory.....?

There'a also the ones that deliberately drive through puddles to try and get spray on your car.

A right PITA when its freshly washed.
