Went to breakfast today,& took the GT,as the M car was blocked in
by our Granddaughter's Celica, which I was going to take because we we
supposed to have a thunderstorm with rain this afternoon.
On the way back I made a couple of stops,then stopped by a fellow
MG owner's place for a visit.After being there a little while,he told me how
he noticed how dark the clouds were getting,so I decided that I needed to
get home soon.Got about three miles from home before the first raindrops
fell,then it cane pouring down.
I got stuck at every long stoplight,Rolled the windows up,which fogged
up the windshield.At the last (extremely) long light,the driver's side wiper
decided to come off it's mount,& after the light changed,I could barely see the
.road,but somehow managed to get safely into the driveway.
Then the rain finally quit.
 
As we say so often these days - "Just another day at the office ..."

Beat me to it, gonzo. A great hedge against wet conditions.

Remember "MG Mitten" anyone? Marion's was the first place we could get Rain-X, back in the late '60's.
 
There was just an article (Hagerty, I think?) about MG MItten a couple of weeks ago!

The article was specifically about the artwork. I had to do a double-take, the racing "caricatures" in their ads were incredibly similar to one that someone had done of my dad back in the 70s. I checked though, it turns out a family friend was just very adept at copying his style.
 
Dave Deal did the artwork.He also did the artwork on some Revell
model kit boxes.

I forgot to add that it was raining so hard you couldn't see
hardly anything.
 
I'll never forget the flooding rain one Saturday when I was driving across Milwaukee to spend the day at Road America. I was so mesmerized by the waterfall gushing off the side of the 35th St viaduct that I drove directly into the heaviest gush... knocking the driver's wiper right off. Had to abandon the trip, as well as using the wipers. Once I turned them off I realized I couldn't see any worse without them.
