I just had a wild drive home in it, all through Camberwell was well flooded, no one was using the left lane as it had some pretty deep water running down it, but the Evo made light work of it. Had some school kids cheering and waving their arms around as I drove past. Got water over the bonnet at one stage, thank god for the stock air box.

 

[tenji]

well im never in a rush it usually takes me 1 n a bit hours to get home anyways

 

[DOUGMO]

the whole oval at the back of knox ozone was full this arvo on the way home

total madness

 

[fradles]

the roof at work was leaking, so it was practically raining inside

Work (in Malvern East) flooded, which it does whenever it rains heavily. Which is always funny because we have to stop work. When I got home however, I found that my granny flat had flooded, which wasn't a bit funny! It's got indoor/outdoor type carpet which is good because it'll dry, but need a new hand basin and lino in the bathroom. Insurance is sending out some guys with "big heaters" tomorrow to dry the concrete, bricks and carpet. Not fun, well and truly soaked my place out. :x


Got an email at work too from a panel shop in Bayswater with photos after the rain. Looked absolutely ridiculous, cars almost at the point of floating and such. At least the water tanks are well and truly full I guess.
