Lol - windscreen, heater and roof FTW!
The whole day was great - rain, sun, drizzle, standing water, grease.
Great practise.
888's on heavier cars were really good in the wet.

Enjoyed myself today, mission was to see if the car feel apart at speed, and spin out in a medium speed corner.
I am happy to report the car made a great (if particularly slow) showing.
I got overtaken by nearly everything out there, but to be honest I was so busy staring in dread into my mirrors and slowing right down that I probably
made the situation myself. The car was rapid in a straight line and handled all the corners very well, albeit I wasn't pushing hard.
The rain ruined my confidence and I only went out once in the wet.
Was in the paddock in my tin top, to see the car next to me reverse straight into my car.... smashed my light.
I wouldn;t mind so much but it is BRIGHT orange! By this point I was stood in about 3 inches of standing water, my car had had a bump and an engine
cradle bolt kept undoing itself and decided that I had acehived all I wanted and would hit the road before anything happened
loaded the car up on the trailer to head off, and went to say good bye to the guys when Joe offered me a trip out in this newly shod car - which I
couldn't refuse!
Had a right laugh! Joe showed just how much harder I could have been pushing. then the rain stopped - bugger!
headed off happy with the day.
Great to see everyone and thanks for the ride out Joe - had a blast!

was a lot of fun! nice to meet you nige and welderman. dangle, were you the somewhat damp looking chap sat in the passenger seat of the fury when me
and pat came a wandering?
i saw your car but everytime i was about to come across, you'd either disappeared or were out on track. i tried to give you plenty of room as i
came past on track though
really glad we found some good wet settings early on! it was bloody skittish in the morning on 888s
