Extreme Sports.......Extreme Driving

Well Hall (AKA LoMoss) and I went out for a drive. It’s my fault I called Hall while it was still dry.

After a few spots of rain we set off over to Fife, thereafter the heavens opened and we both got soaked.

I thought the Indy had turned into a speed boat at one point. There was so much standing water the front wheels were setting of a bow wave, which continued down the side of the car until it hit the rear arch, only to be deflected into the cockpit.

When I got out the car there was a couple of inches of water sitting on both seats and another ¾ of an inch of water sloshing about the bottom of the car!

Now dried off and had a few glasses of wine and all is once again well, note to self, the next time take head of the weather forecast before setting out.

Cheers

Ian

I miss-read the title as "...extreme diving". Turns out I was almost right!
