On another note, is there a petrol station close to Llandow, preferably a Shell (V-power) ?

I'm going down on the cheapest unleaded i can find - but want to fill up with some better fuel for the action !

Lee

Nick

It's bloody raining, I'm seriously not happy. I've just got soaked trying to waterproof the nova using a massive roll of duck tape. I don't think i'm gonna be a happy bunny tomorrow. Cos it's raining I can't Rain-X my screen, I have no form of screenwash, I have no heater and due to the weather I can't Anti-fog the inside of the screen cos it's already misted up, the footwells are filling up with water.

Can I shotgun some Pax laps in some heater equipped novas when I get there, PLEASE!


:cry: :cry: :cry:

And I don't have any wet weather tyres so I'll be slower than a boggo 1.2.

You can jump in the monty for a warm up if you like. My car is currently on dry weather tyres. So if this rain keeps up I will have to change to the wets :(

Dan

well i've just put a good dose of antifog on mine for a first time, prob way to much but a slight smear is better than a slight fog. As for wet weather tyres, normal road tyres are ample, providing they are f1's :thumb: (not that its any help now like, but still worth the mention for others reading this).

Dar

F1's is what I have because they were cheap. I couldn't afford to buy some super soft slicks and cut them. Mind you these are on 7J rims and tight under the arches is an understatment.

Gents, the XE's knocking so I am not going now.
