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!

Elliot, this sounds a bit fishy to me. Are you sure you haven't become a closet MX5 owner?
Hope you can make it. I have sent you a PM with the Run Sheet.

I really need to check the forum more often! I've been wasting all my money and time on fish tanks lately and the car hasn't been getting enough of my attention but this meet looks too good to pass up, I have a work Christmas party tomorrow but I may be able to do both. Let me check my schedule and ill get back to you.

Elliot, we will all be home and in bed by 5.30..you got plenty of time..no excuses..

Dave, not again. How are we supposed to defend the honour of the ADub with all these SDubs and Spyders coming, and you not there?

Hope to catch you and the car at Christmas.

Dont worry mate, i will be really active on cruises next year, really looking forward to it.

I am working 7-days a week atm and will be till end of jan, but after that i have my life back, oh and by then a little red turbo aw11 that will go a long way to defending the adub honour trust me :p

Hope you all have a great day and the rain keeps away, i was caught in spring hill this morning, that was an interesting 45min.

Eric,
no problems at all and happy to accommodate this. Just remind me in the morning when we met (for the first time).

Just realised that before we cross the border I will have to change drivers with my mate, as otherwise I will be limited to 80km/h and fall behind (NSW speed restrictions for L platers) :((

is it possible to make a stop before we cross? 

Hi All,
Forecast today is thunderstorms and good chance of Hail!
I'm pulling out today - I'm sorry.
I searched to long and far for MRT097 for ruin with hail damage.
Disappointed!

+1 on that, Rolz.  An excellent turnout, brilliant roads, and we are finally official!  Huge congratulations to Kathy and Walter for all their hard work.
