Well guys as has ben said before we only hear about the bad days so I thought I'd start a 'Good' thread. Friday night, roof down cruising the Hampshire/Sussex countryside - Fantastic! No odd noises, no rattles, no bumps. Nothing fell off or anything. Just cruising little villages - probably a gear too low - opening her up on the straights generally having a great time. And we weren't alone either (no TVR's though), saw a Dancing Donkey, Lamborghini, Loads of Porkers, and more Lotus than there were Mosquitos, all in all a terrific time. Plus after all the sh1te weather this weekend and the car being outside throughout, it was dry inside and only a tiny bit of water under the spare wheel! Oh life is good!!

Oh don't, you are making me miss my chimp even more. Some ****er keyed it last weekend so I've got it somewhere safe until we move in a couple of weeks. It'll be in a garage then, so no more street parking. I saw an R Reg 450 this morning in silver, I was so annoyed that some git had deprived me of mine.

If your street parking I would recommend a full cover - out of sight out of mind, as they say - if people can't see it's a nice car hopefully they will ignore it (famous last words!). Unfortunately I missed all the good weather at the weekend so the lid stayed on - still had fun sliding around yesterday though
