Why do we have these before summer(wet and crap) and after summer (even more wet and crap)???
They are drop tops for summer use, lets have one in summer where we can use it,instead of wet, and hugging a mug of tea for dear life, being realy nice, because of the love of the roadsters, but can not wait to go home.
Lovely day. It was raining a bit in Bath at 6.00am when I set off but the full length tonneau kept it off. As I got to Swindon the sun came up in a clear eastern sky and, apart from a couple more light showers which the speed keeps out of the car, that was it on the journey. When we arrived lots of cars had their tops down and there was one slight shower at around midday but that was it! Raincoats not needed.
The speed trials were carried out on loose earth, not mud.
Waiting to hear what the score was. I saw four other Gleneagles and at least a dozen Merlots. A man sees what he wants to see and …
Well not long got home to Staffordshire and roof down all the way. Burnt face from weekends activities including Silverstone. So weather held out beautifully and some stunning motors.
I got 1.05 on the Autotest but drove like a right banana on the last 2 runs otherwise might have been useful but what a fabulous blast! I hope they include this stuff in the rally again.
It went a bit dark once, which had everyone scurrying back to there 5’s with the tops left down. We were already at the car when a few rain drops fell, nothing really
Anyway top down back to Derbyshire and got as far as Market Harborough when the heavens opened up. So not a bad day at all
It did look dodgy when we left home. We said hood up and and down the M1 or hood down and take the A6. The A6 won although it took us nearly twice as long to get there
