Graham, where's your spirit of adventure?
Forecast for tomorrow in the area where we are going is a 10 to 20% chance of 5 to 10mm of rain so we shouldn't be worried.
After all, if you want to test whether or not the Targa leaks then what better way to do it. You can also think of it as a low quality pressure wash.
The Run Manager and I were caught up in the big storm in West End this morning at about 10.50am and it was interesting to see the low-lying roads near the river flooding again due to blocked drains. However, this didn't stop the truckies and some other totally careless car drivers who were just barrelling along throwing up massive bow waves on Montague Road. One poor Mazda 3 driver came to a sudden stop with water half way up the side of the driver's door, but the hazard flashers still worked. Obviously designed to warn fellow motorists that the car was submerging and to stand clear.
A Citroen driver just decided to stop in the middle of Montague Road rather than proceed slowly. Sort of like the French in World War One. This made him an obvious target for the truck drivers coming through the water the other way, with a competitiongoing on to see how much water they could get over the top of the car. People just started crossing the road and driving around the Citroen, which created more havoc.
The shop we were going to had to close because it had 10cms of water rushing through it, but despite the electrical hazard and slippery floor there were people who were really upset with the stote owner for not serving them. This is with him standing over the cash registers with an umbrella.
Thank fully none of this chaos will ensue tomorrow as it will be dry and we will have a great day.

I think it's going to be a wet one tomorrow!
