Had to go to pick some train tickets up for my partner yesterday. 20 mile round trip and it was raining so I decided to make the only sensible
decision of what to go in and so of course I chose Beccy 
Waterproof coat, gloves and helmet and it was lovely haha. May have just broken the speed limit again 
but it keeps the visor clear 
Got some very strange looks driving through Preston town centre though.
I really feel that those who say "The car has never been out in the rain" are really missing out on a raw and exciting driving experience!
*waits for the "oh no I crashed it" post in the next couple of days*

Or the obligatory "Does anyone know how to get off with a driving ban" post
in the words of B.A Baraka
"CRAZY FOOL"
Does anyone know how to get off with a driving ban after crashing my car this morning??
haha!
glad your enjoying it, hopefully by the time mine is on the roads we'll just be in the first few days of the most glorious, longest and pleasant
summer Britain's ever had...
I'm sure your right. We need a good summer to make up for this crappy cold spell.
Last weekend I was jumping (work) from 14,000ft in 28 degrees below freezing (+125mph wind chill factor) and ice crystals building on the goggles for
50 seconds. No amount of clothing keeps you warm in that.
So I guess you can see why I enjoyed my drive yesterday

hehe! surely the very fact that the sahara was once a lake shows climate change has been around for a good wee while, and changing lightbulbs now wont really do anything...
The thread takes a new turn Hmmm.. one of my favourite bees in my bonnet. Here is an eye opener. Most big causes or catastrophes have big business and
big profits well hidden. Take the so called credit crunch. Most people have lost money and will for many many years but the few who manufactured it
have pulled off one of the greatest daylight robberies in history. Its just our so called leaders decided to give away our money to their mates to get
them richer while telling us we are being saved from them. Big money and business own the media so why should we expect to be told the truth on the
news when any differing opinions are dismissed as cranks no matter what their experience or qualifications.
Climate change is BIG business and more so if we believe we are causing it. Take a look at this ....

if, of course, that nail is a vaguely daily mail, ill formed opinion based on ignorance rather than conflicting and robust scientific literature then
yes.
