Are we talking thunder/lightning or is Prescott flying over the South Coast right now?

I've just got back from a 'family storm chasing evening'. Truly awesome. Lightening every few second, just a few hundreds yards from the car. I must confess to being quite nervous at one point! Kids loved it though!

Never mind polishing it,(the car before Vixpy starts!) have you been driving it and what is it like?

Deeee....licious. Had to test the PSM yesterday, now that is a good feature Everything I wanted in a car. Sounds nice too. The C4 really grips the road, far more than I expected coming from a Boxster. It can be lazily smooth, or quite brisk indeed. In this weather it was unbeatable. Kids in the back, tootling round the countryside one minute, playing fast another. I'm on

You're OK inside the car (as long as it's a tin-top).
