The weather that is. Bought a paraglider in April, and since then we've had some rain. In fact, last time it rained like this, that Noah chap took up an unhealthy interest in carpentry..

I've really gone and done it now; after 20 years of lusting I've gone and bought an S3C.

Right, now off to see if I can get the lid off.

No, best not, bloody raining again..

Oh sodditt. I'll wear the wet weather gear I bought to sit on a hill and not fly in. Got to be useful for something..

Welcome Psycho.

Tip, take roof off procede at minimum of 30mph and
you wont get wet at all but make sure
you wrap up and have heaters on full and check
out the strange looks you get .

Wish I had..

Must admit I was but a wee nipper when I 1st saw one. Parents had a Morgan and was quite used to seeing various Mogs around, then one day a TVR rolled up.

Nearly got one a few years ago, but ended up with a sensible girlfriend and a sensible tintop.

Both alas moved on now. Oh well. I'll miss the Saab.

Nah...

Until you get stuck at a level crossing, that is...

With the 20% cut in rail subsidy that should not be too much of a problem any more

Whats the deal with 30mph - just get wet and dry the leather whan you get home/destination. I did stop on the way back from VW on Sat to put the lid up 'cos it was raining. :softshandydrinkingsouthernernot:

I'm sitting here 4780 miles from by Chimaera. Have been for several days and will be for several more. Miss my trusty stead (and family) and would willingly drive in a thunderstorm with the top off if I could have but a few minutes enjoyment in this land where TVRs are few and very far between.

Likewise. 6,222 miles to be precise. In Tokyo. Miss my car. Miss my wife. Miss being drunk before Christmas (not necessarily in that order...)
