I could have sworn there was another in that list. Obviously not!

 

[Marvin]

Glad I wasn't miscounting!

Sigh BMW cant look at it until the 2nd of August. So do I risk it, drop out or drive the Lambocanto of shame ?

 

[Cleisthenes]

Lambocanto, 100%

 

[Akagi]

Yes. Dibs on passenger ride at the pub.

Had to do a bit of digging .. you had me perplexed

Saying that small cars are always hilarious round corners

 

[badgeruk]

Lambocanto it is then. It might even have a speical livery by then....

 

[Akagi]

Can't decide which car to bring. The E30 has a blowing exhaust at the moment and the ABS is broken but I'm enjoying driving it with its new suspension...

Thought you sorted the exhaust?

He will once he finds a can of coke.

I paid a garage to weld the sleeved together sections up for me (I made a middle section out of off the shelf bits) but they opted to use gun gum and tighten up the clamps and charge me £20 instead... Insisted it would be fine. It lasted about 3 days, as expected.

Getting the middle section re-made from stainless instead now.

Looks more likely that I'll be able to make this now. There's a weather warning for thunderstorms on Friday - hoping that doesn't extend until Saturday.

That'd make those back roads a bit more lively.

Thinks to himself, ha! I have awd.. then remembers he has P-Zero's.

 

[Akagi]

If its wet then I have no idea what to do.

I could bring the E30 and have some fun with the RWD'ness, but then I don't want to go out in the wet with it. Because rust.

Or I could bring the Corolla which is FWD.

 

[dacads]

Hmm so whoever said it was going to rain jinxed it

Looks like the rain will only be until 9PM so should mostly be dried up by Saturday morning

 

[L0rdMike]

rain 4wd for win

 

[Conscript]

Chill, Winston. It's still forecast to be dry, it's just a widespread warning for storms on Friday.
If anything, I'm looking forward to it. Not using my car everyday, it's now covered in pollen, dust and other crap, a good downpour on Friday afternoon will act as a good rinse for a quick wash on Saturday morning

 

[badgeruk]

Good old car cover, at least mines not covered in dust and bird crap now.

Anyone coming from my direction want to meet up on the way there? No idea what the route is to the meeting point from my house.

I got caught in a "good downpour" on Friday which was probably the worst rain I've driven through.. all I can say is that my mx5s roof is not up to the job and my bottom and my shoulder were wet lol.
