Dear Charlie,

but at least I can see the tree that I'm about to hit?"
Ah, spoken like a true Pantera driver in real world
conditions. I recall the Texas 1000 Road Rally in 1998 (?) when there was a
near historic amount of rain. I distinctly remember the very bad feeling of
driving the Pantera with worn rear tires on rainy Texas asphalt crowned
roads. It had the singularly unsettling sensation of driving on ice. On
the other hand at a different time and with different tires......I can
recall driving at speed on the interstate during thunderstorm downpour with
the Pirelli P7s and having good grip and a big surprise of no hydroplaning,
although I cannot explain that.
Warmest regards, Chuck Engles

So I'm as good as Ill get for this trip, we have wipers, the wife will be
happy.... but I got to thinking I haven't seen any discussion on a modern
alternative to the Lucas system, has anyone retrofitted something that
doesn't involve hacking up the grill and trunk? Or is a new Lucas 14W as
good as it gets?
*****Rain-X.
Joking aside, my wipers work reasonably well, and combined with regular
applications of Rain-X I think that I can see reasonably well in the rain.
Still absolutely hate driving in the rain if there's standing wáter due to
the lack of feeling and sensation that I'm going to aquaplane at any second,
but at least I can see the tree that I'm about to hit?
