My biggest fear is that my wife sells my cars for what i told her they cost !!

IMPI and I have been debating whether the pic is sign of commitment or bad planning :lol:

Yes, I've been flooded in the buggy too numerous times, and I always found mysself with this catch-22:

a. Drive faster - exposure to rain more harsh, but quicker home

b. Drive slower - exposure to rain more moderate, but journey home longer...

That car will never be the same again.

SNAP :D

Drove my Spyder faster to avoid getting wet, rain was so bad the aquaplaning forced me to slow down on the way back from Vereeniging on the R59 a few years ago :bn:
For what it's worth, ignorance has no limits ......
