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

@DanielDrives Ай бұрын

That's really kind - thank you!

@jbenekeorr Ай бұрын

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

@gezzy8095 Ай бұрын

I am staggered by your mechanical genius! Brilliant wiper fix!

@azureus69 Ай бұрын

The scope of your genius is almost unfathomable

Great work! Both the video and the wiper fix.

Great vid Daniel. One thing I don’t think you’ll ever be is “speechless” 😂

@DanielDrives Ай бұрын

Me neither!!

@iansavage2885 Ай бұрын

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

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

@DanielDrives Ай бұрын

@@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 Ай бұрын

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

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...)

I'm an engineering genius... Haha, pretty much!

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!

Took my Elise s1 to Ypres then the nurbergring a few months ago it was awesome enjoy the trip 👏

A great car for the trip!

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 Ай бұрын

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

the classic "koeingsegg one wiper conversion"

@DanielDrives Ай бұрын

It's basically a Regera...

@JohnSummer98 Ай бұрын

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!

@DanielDrives Ай бұрын

Cheers John!

Great video! Well done for doing it, I've been talking about it for years and years! I look forward to the next instalment.

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

@DanielDrives Ай бұрын

He was getting a little travel sick!

@ciaran_socal Ай бұрын

Love the chickens! 😂 Great job Jacob, thanks for being such a good friend! 👍

@DanielDrives Ай бұрын

He's been great!

@alexbij9804 Ай бұрын

see if you can get some Rain X

@Redmist.65 Ай бұрын

Pain about the wiper! but glad you managed to carry on and do a lap.

@CraigHartley-o3f Ай бұрын

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

@DanielDrives Ай бұрын

That'll be an easy win!

@AndyK.1 Ай бұрын

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

@DanielDrives Ай бұрын

That's what I ended up doing!

@mikedonlan5963 Ай бұрын

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

@DanielDrives Ай бұрын

Haha, yes!

@stevewilson6390 Ай бұрын

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 Ай бұрын

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

@djjwart945 Ай бұрын

also German maccies has the best curry dip ever

@DanielDrives Ай бұрын

It does!!! So much better than the UK :D

@markpunt9638 Ай бұрын

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 Ай бұрын

Ended up swapping the blades round the other day :)
