I am SOAKED

[kirkyboy5]

Well my joyful story begins at 1850hrs today... all happy getting the cover off the westie in the bright sunshine ready for my first meet at the Dudley Arms. As I climb in and start the engine and strap myself in, it starts raining a small amount. I think "ohh well a little rain never hurt anybody"...........

five minutes later, up the road the clouds start PI**ING it down. "I can handle this" i say to myself, its only a little rain..........

one minute later and im stuck behind the slowest Nissan Micra driver you have ever seen doing 15 miles per hour whilst getting struck in the face repeatedly by hail stones from the passing storm above. By this point it is thundering and lightening right over head too.

So a quick de-tour and im heading home after roughly 6 minutes of driving (must be a record). I get home and its stopped raining (god must really hate me) so i get the towel out to dry the inside of my boat... sorry I meant car. Just as its nice and dry it starts raining again. I then qued the Benny Hill music and ran as fast as i could inside to get the car cover. I threw it over in a desperate attempt to get in dry and it lands on the fairly hot exhaust resulting in a huge melted hole in the cover! and its still raining!

Ohhhh the joys of having a Westfield

After 3 years of Westfield ownership I've learnt to be an excellent weather forecaster Went out in mine for a couple of hours this morning and timed things just right, got it back in the garage just as the heavens opened.

Your joking, I was born in Essington so the yellow and black is firmly in my veins.

The first footy top my son had was from the Molineux  

I even remember the days that they actually won lol

And to top it the Clark family are friends of my  family  

[kirkyboy5]

I did feel sorry for an Ariel Atom driver the other day. He was stuck in a bit of a downpour on the M25, stationary as well.

Me and the wife drove back from a track day last month in torrential rain.  2 hours getting absolutely soaked - even my expensive goretex waterproof jacket leaked.  Not to metion how cold it was either.

[kirkyboy5]

haha tony hailstones do hurt. they look quite nice when your sitting at home and its hailing outside but when your driving 20mph they fricking hurt

Well it needed some polishing as the last owner didnt bother aha

hope your well chap. love to the family.
