Posted this in the M power section but thought i would share it here too as you can apreciate the rubbish weather we get in wales, at least i had some fun out of another crappy day?



Who has been caught out walking along and someone comes and does this to you, there wasn't anyone walking past (this time) but if there was it would of been very tempting whistle

That is a "heavy object in flight" if it soaked me.

Edited to add, maybe the driver did see that no one was there? Anyway, some of the run off I have seen today would make it hard to avoid.

To be honest i could of avoided it but the child in me said no go for it! the fact no one was there to soak wasn't too disapointing, nevermind maybe i'll get someone next time it slashes down which is possibly quite soon.

Talking of not seeing things, was anyone else caught out by that broken down crane on the Ely link tonight?

Good of the police to have put cones out and to sit there with his red and blues on. I wouldn't have seen the massive bright yellow crane with its own warning lights on, especially as I was driving just slightly faster than a snail at the time.

I was really quick, no only messing with ya, i got the misses to jump out with the camera and went for a second run, i'm on another forum and there is a competition for the best pic every month and it has to have your car in it and the theme for that month, this month being WATER i thought it was a good opertunity for a good pic, do you think it could be a winner or ?

As for you sorrento205 that's a terrible thing to do rolleyes or was it a accident LOL

funny when you get someone else but a real biatch when it happens to you?

Does it sound like i took the pic in my OP then? sorry should of been a bit clearer

Actually the first picture wasn't the second run it was the third this was the second and it didn't come out that good so went for it again, wasn't much of a puddle after the third go so left at that LOL.

That perticular piece of road in miskin/pontyclun floods right across the road with it 6" to 8" in the middle and really deep at the edges, its probably like it know seems its slashing down, but i think this was enough water for me before i go aquaplaning into the woods or something.



Brightened up a otherwise miserable day, well for a bit of it anyway?

definately going to stand a good chance with that pic i think.

It was a genuine error on my behalf, but i did laugh hard at his reaction, it was very enthusiastic. I bet he was saying something along the lines of "whats your effing problem you bleep head" hehe

Not really, allthough I wasn't sure if it was you taking a pic of a very similar car to yours or someone taking pics of you.

If I asked my wife to get out in the pissing rain and take pictures of me arseing about in puddles, I'm pretty sure I'd know what the answer would be, starts with fk ends in off. You've got a good one there mate.

Wasn't sure as the first guy that posted seemed to get the impression that i wasn't driving (i think), I know what your saying with the misses telling you where to go, mine did just that but with allot of persuasion she eventually did it for the greater good, i'm sure it will cost me one way or another some time soon, when she's after something i'm going to have that thrown back at me so i've haven't got off scot free that's for sure i'll probably wished she stuck to no i'm not doing that feck off, love her! she's worse than me she couldn't wait really (yeah right O!)

She did look quite funny standing on the roadside wearing my jacket soaking wet taking pics mind, and i did try the go a bit closer for me go on? but she wasn't falling for it!

Was a laugh if nothing else

Yep, i was caught in that too. By the time i got to the crane the police hadn't even arrived yet! I hate that stretch of road. I'm up and down it every day and if its not traffic problems on the way down at Leckwith or by the tunnels, its on the way back home again as well!

Good pics Jeff! Went through that twice yesterday too, though prob not as quick as you lol!

Just saw this pic and it reminded me of the time I got soaked near Church Village on my way home from the pub. Luckily my mate had an empty bottle in his hand and he managed to get the back window.
Boy did WE laugh.
