kirkyboy5 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Is ****e, Since iv bought my Westie last July the weather has been awful... i think weve possibly had 1 week of nice weather all in all. So frustrated at the minture just having my Westie sat there whilst its pooring down with rain, So you guys can blame me for any frustrations of not being able to go for a lovely blat in the heat of the English sun. Sorryyyyyy Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Whilst not as bad as the UK we've had a bad summer so far. Normally May is flat cloud and 17c. Then on the last day of May/1st day of June we awaken to clear blue skies and 27c. It gets hotter as the month goes on then settles down to a nice 25 +/- 3c and clear blue skies. This goes on until October. We may get a day with a shower in this 5 month period. However this year we've had a few nice days, but none without some cloud and most days it's like May, low flat cloud and no sun. I think it was like this last year but, to be honest, I had other things to worry about than the weather. The bible talks about 7 years feast and 7 years famine so I guess we're in the latter period. Anyway, cheer up, at least you can't get sunburn. May turn rusty though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dommo Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I've got my IVA Wednesday. Weather forecast has just changed to Lightning storms. Ho ho ho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KugaWestie Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 At least then you will be able to say "Dry miles only" "Never been driven in the rain" etc etc Dommo I looked at the sky on saturday evening (cloudless and blue) and decided to fire up our charcoal BBQ to cook some pork chops. Got it all stoked up and coming on nicely and it absolutely lashed down! Sunday lunchtime was a similar scenario, although as soon as I stepped out of the back door it clouded over and rained within minutes - so no BBQ and on with the grill! As for the Westy - I am not allowed to drive until the end of this week after the operation, so hoping it will be a dry weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SootySport Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Do away with the carpets and fit GRP seats, won't matter if it rains then. I bought my car from Wolverhampton last July and had plenty of trackdays and drives since then, can't complain much, the only thing stopping me driving is work or other non weather distractions.

s2rrr Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Was out on Saturday lunchtime doing some noise testing at a mates garage a couple of miles away and it started to rain a little. Put the car in the garage for it to blow over and a monsoon started. Waited for a while until the rain had calmed down to a lightish drizzle put my half hood up and made it home with a slightly damp --------- right arm. No doors but the roof was ace. Big up to Steve Mahon. Then had to pamper it some to dry it off. A few more miles on the clock I guess. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 You'll never get to do anything if you just wait for the weather. Got caught in some of the heaviest downpours I've ever been in on the way back from Curborough the other week. Had to stop and bail out the seats!

Ninja Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I've decided to embrace the British summer and donned my (2011 le mans spec) waterproofs, chucked my laptop and some spare clothes/shoes into an Overboard bag, and off I go to work... The weather looks pretty dodgy, but I've got a shower cap for the car whilst its sat at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
