As most Victorian sprinters will remember Philip Island a few weeks ago was pretty wet & miserable. Getting the car ready for the event i noticed that i had flown the fuse on the wipers. Well,I replaced the fuse
(thereby exhausting my knowledge of all things auto electrical) &  made sure i had the Rainex & spare fuses in the tool kit a headed for Philip Island. Sure enough first timed run after the practise session the rain started and the wipers stopped again ( blown fuse again so a short in the system somewhere) . So another application of Rain X and off we go. Just thought the vision in this clip shows how good the stuff is in the wet and why its always worth having some in the glovebox.

I think it also  shows how treacherous the conditions became. Unfortunately not even Rain X helps with braking in the wet & yes i did stall it.

Thanks for the test Gully.

Didn't know the Kodak Zi6 has an auto panning mode.
