Just drove thru a PHAT puddle near cardiff town, no problem i thought, ride the clutch, blow out the water, no probs..... so i thought..... obviously soaked the engine and then when i tried startin it, flattened the battery.

So..... ive just had great fun bein towed home (about 6miles) in proper heavy rain, with no hazards, no lites, shit brakes and no bastard wipers. Got the dizzy off and WD40'd and the battery on charge. Also saw some poor bastard with an SR replica that had smashed it up, sat on the side of the road 2mins b4 my baby passed out.

Not a good nite for Cardiff Nova's

Its pot luck i reckon every time you take a nova through a deep puddle or mass of water, you just got unlucky this time.

I've been forced to do it before, once the battery warning light starts to flicker, your in shit, but keep the revs high and get out quick and you can be alright.

lol!

Last time I got caught in a Glasgow torrent my sunroof leaked and my indicators packed up!

Luckily I was past most of the traffic lights in my area so managed to skip any real bother - I turned the heater on full blast and then for no reason they atarted again :?

Explain that one!?
