You are both aware that it is currently winter? In Britain? Where rain and generally dreary weather is celebrated when the natives have congregated somewhere drafty but dry. Well, dryish. OK then, somewhere that isn't actually blessed with gallons of water falling relentlessly from the sky.

Blame me, when I bought the Omega in 2010 I drove it out of the showroom & it rained non stop for weeks, bought the Merc on 07/11/15 & it has rained virtually every day since pain in the backside roll on summer.😀😁😂

It was the wind that nearly caught me out this morning.  While going over the ridge on the M40 at a steady Rte of knots  ::) I hit the storm which had passed by us earlier that morning.  The ridge had funnelled the wind and concentrated it  to a point where the rear end stared to step out.

This... Although I'd add wind to the hate list especially if it's raining at the same time.

It can be interesting when the wind funnels down the M40 chalk hills near High Wycombe. A 3.2 can, allegedly, see the end of the clock going down there with a tail wind.  :)

That's exactly where it was but instead of a tailwind it was a sidewind that came out of nowhere.

Squeekybum moment for sure :-X

I could hardly see the road in front of me on the M62 yesterday. Wind throwing the rain straight at the windscreen. Overtaking trucks, with the spray they throw up, was generally a leap of faith.

I think in our younger days, everyone has tried to max their transport down Chickenshit Canyon (aka M40 cutting)

And I complained about the weather back home in Scotland ..............should have stayed there . >:(

The bends stop flat out capabilities. Although I agree, still fun on the rare occasions the bumblers of this world are elsewhere.
