Had to use Belle to get to Nene Valley Railway and back yesterday. Only about 14 miles there….however it was properly chucking it down with rain coming home. Pleased to say pretty much dry inside the cockpit.
However the journey was bloody frightening - because I had to slow right down and would have a hazard to other traffic on a major road- had to go v slowly along multiple country lanes/flooded back roads to get home because the flipping heated windscreen didn’t work at all. Couldn’t see a ruddy thing the whole ruddy journey even despite constantly wiping with a microfibre cloth. Am somewhat annoyed because I had raised it as an issue at first service so clearly need to raise again. I realise it is only a minor thing but it’s safety related and I knew it would be something I’d rely on in rain/cold weather (and was important factor for me when buying as I use year round in all conditions). Belle coped with flooded roads v competently and, even with water from massive puddles breaking fully over the bonnet/roof etc nary a drop entered. Was relieved to make it back home in one piece in all honesty 23 miles later…
