    That temporary wiper fix is genius. A nod to the original Panda perhaps!

    For a younger man, you speak and conduct yourself very well. It's been a pleasure watching you on your road trip

    You could adjust the single arm, and used the long drivers side blade..?? Good trip so far....well done.

    I had a similar thing happen when i was about your age on the M20 in kent, on the outside lane pouring down with rain and i was going past a big lorry. And my drivers side wiper stopped, but the left one was still going. This was in a 1985 Saab 900 Turbo. The left wiper is mechanical and the right one is cable driven, and the cable snapped. Right at the worst moment overtaking a lorry in the rain. To say i sh^t my pants would be an understatement.

      Ooops! Not ideal. I must admit it scared me a bit too!

    Great video, glad you made it. Try some Rain X on your windscreen Daniel.

      @@jimmygnarl oh yes, that could work 🤔 I’ll have a look for somewhere that might have it later on.

    Enjoyed this as well. Genius wiper fix! I never drove on the GP circuit but I did the Nordschleife three times and absolutely enjoyed it. You get negative and positive camber together plus under steering and oversteer but all good fun.

    • @DanielDrives
      @DanielDrives  16 дней назад +1

      Glad you enjoyed it! Yep, it's definitely something I want to do again soon. GP circuit is also great.

    Why did you remove your Panda G-Force meter? He was doing a good job 👍

    • @DanielDrives

      He was getting a little travel sick!

    Brilliant engineering fix, respect to you for thinking of that!
    So cool that you still got to go around the track too - nicely done!
    (I assume the loo roll in the car was ready for when you pulled out in front of the truck...)

    • @DanielDrives

    Epic road trip! Thanks for sharing your experience. I was very impressed with your temporary wiper fix. Would be good to see some perspectives on the experience from Jacob as passenger, though it seems he may be a little camera shy! Enjoy the rest of the trip and take care, especially around those big lorries!!

    • @DanielDrives
      @DanielDrives  16 дней назад

      I'm working on getting him more camera confident, don't you worry ;)

    Brilliant wiper fix Daniel. I liked the comments from Jacob when you were on NÜRBURGRING GP circuit! He was like a copilot that you get on Rally races. Well done boys!

    Convert/adjust the passenger wiper to wipe the drivers side!

    I bet you were the fastest Fiat Panda that day, so pole position in the Panda race,

  • @mikedonlan5963
    @mikedonlan5963 19 дней назад

    The one wiper on your panda reminds me of the one wiper in the mk1 fiat panda that we had a B reg white Fiat panda which unfortunately got written off in 1994

    I doubt what you tell us is scripted! So i have to say your sence of humour and narration is quite clever.
    Well done 👏👍

    • @DanielDrives

      Definitely not scripted, it would be more professional if it was! :D

    @markpunt9638 19 дней назад

    Epic to be able to go round that world-famous track. Nice one.Is the driver’s wiper blade longer? If so you could’ve fix it to the arm that’s working to get more coverage? Or simply try and buy a longer blade? Just a thought

    • @DanielDrives
      @DanielDrives  16 дней назад

      Ended up swapping the blades round the other day :)
