Mind you, at least they're blaming the crap weather over here on something other then global sodding warming for a change.... :roll:

It really is a nightmare this weather nothing but wet stuff coming from above! This has included lightening, thunder, hail, rain, heavy rain and anything else associated all in the space of 30mins, and i thought it was all over, ohh no lol! OK thats enough moaning, like Tony said we havn't had it that bad down here, hope to god you lot oop north are coping somehow! Hope the D's are getting some kind of shelter as well, poor things! :?

Yep it's just chucking down here too. Luckily I now have a new workshop to work in. It takes 3 cars and has a 4 poster lift in it so Im in car heaven at the moment
The best time I have ever had in the D was when a group of us met up on the way to Donnington for the first Renault Meet.
There was around 7 D's all blasting along the Motorway with us all having great run overtaking with lightning going off all around us. Me, Rob Williams and Claire were the main culprits but I have some great photos of it

That run wasn't the fastest I've been in my car, but it was pretty exciting.
I prefer not to drive my car in the rain wherever possible, because the back end can and will come out if you get overambitious with the throttle out of slow corners (even on good tyres) It's not hard to catch but I'd rather avoid it where there are other cars around if possible...
