Room in the barn, if it rains?

Could all just hop into a vauxhall. Some might even stay dry

Sure that should be a candidate for the Fourth Plinth at Trafalgar Square.

Pack a coat and some waterproof shoes… it’ll be fine.

Annoyingly, there's already a Bedford Square, otherwise... 😉

It's just a bit of rain. Or, for the Scottish contingent, a normal day. 

Let's get on with it! 👍

The 405 remains in the dead car pile behind my local shite friendly garage. I had agreed that they would do it as and when; a call yesterday (I had thought to take the resurrected pug to the FOD) told me that it remains on the treatment waiting list. Nae bother, as the recently acquired 75 can do the leg work.

As @Andyrew once memorably said, Mazda MX5s are water soluble, so will be bringing the Jaguar.

And an umbrella!

See you all tomorrow

I have roughly the same with my dad's RAC cover - I've been a member since 1987, exactly ten years before I was born...

I found a friends current RAC card in the car he loaned me last week,  member since 1971!

It's unfortunate that the same can be said for 70s Vauxhall's.

See you tomorrow 😜

Pontiac’s body is made of plastic… it’ll be fine!

It'll be fine! (I might stay parked on the hard standing though since I'm not camping...)

The Triumph hasn't been out since April. The handbrake was almost non existent then so I've adjusted up the back brakes, no self adjusting here, and both hand and foot brake feel much better. So I've just taken it out for £60 worth of Shell V Power and a paper. So I'm sure it'll be fine for a 200 mile round trip. I'll be leaving in about an hour.

Yours is pessimistic… BBC says:

A mere 88%… that’s a 12% chance it won’t!

the rain is coming your way we had it all night.

I chickened out of 5 hours plodding up in the camper in poor weather.

I've found some CF2 spares;  I don't think top and bottom hoses for a petrol engined CF2 will be much help although a distributor cap  may fit the Manta? 

I know I bought a CF2 specific lower ball joint and it must be be somewhere in the garage. I was told that CF2s were being scrapped from want of the lower ball joint.  I don't think I managed to find a second one.
