Someone else who's happy its raining!

I want it to **** down for a few days so we can have nice clean roads

If it keeps up for a while we may not have a hose pipe ban!

Unless it is the wrong type of rain again??

Yorkie.

I dont know about washing the salt away but its washing more of the fields on to the roads around my place!!!

i'm sure a lot of people have noticed how slippery the roads are this winter, part of this is down to a new addictive being used with rock salt. Its sugar beet!! its stops the salt being washed away as easily when it rains! Nice syrupy solution to coat the roads in......

been discussed on pistonheads, more info there.

And leaves a nice aggressive salt / caramel solution burnt onto your shiny bits.

Noticed my diesel Passat has been spinning it's wheels up much easier this year-even on dry roads..........it's got 130bhp but hell my ST4S isn't much short of that, and only one tyre to put it through...............
