Had a quick look at the photo's, very nice.
I don't suppose he has to worry about rain, particularly when stuck in a meeting knowing full well the cars roof is still down.
I take it they allow racing slicks on road cars in kalifornia then

No, there's no rain here at this time of the year. He's also not working, so I think he's quite ready to dash outside to put the top on.

Speaking of dashing, he got done for 109 mph the other day. And because he had no proof of an address in the US, they hauled him off to jail. Poor guy had to spend the night there before being allowed to post bail. Plus they impounded his car and he had to pay for the tow. And there's court costs, a heavy speeding fine, and possibly solicitor's fees ahead. A great victory for the tax system we call justice.

Clear, empty, dual carriageway, no danger being posed to anyone, doing a 109 in full control while in a car that is clearly capable of handling 140+, a guest in the country, carrying proper identification, offering to pay the fine on the spot, not trying to outrun the police when they sneakily set up hidden radar traps, and answering all questions, and they lock him up for the night. I am just waiting for that John Robson chap to say how all this is perfectly justifiable and makes sense. No wonder I detest traffic cops.
