I'm selling the nad sadly Darren. Mot tax and insurance are due end of the week and I can't afford to reinsure it when I've got the 6 policy running and can't cancel it due to having the accident...

Rainsport 2's and new wiper blades FTW. Never really trusted cars much in the wet, but I feel pretty safe with mine

My garage is soaked, rain must have gone straight towards the door. The under-car cardboard sheet that I kept in there is ruined now, all wet and floppy.
Avensis isnt bad in the rain, wipers are annoyingly squeaky and not automatic and tyres are only budgets....but still not too bad lol.

So my wipers look like Bosch Aerotwin but the last two days has shown that they actually appear to be some sort of cheap knock-off which are about as effective as wiping rain from the winscreen using a coat hanger.
Disclaimer: The above is not to be taken to heart and is probably a joke, grow up you big girl.

I got cheap flat blade wipers from fleabay. They are pretty good imo...
