Zeebrugge to Le Mans in almost constant pishing rain with no heater*, roof, doors, or windscreen was fun 8)

You just recalibrate your mindset - once you're soaked, you can't get any more wet, so enjoy the drive :wink:

Umm, Whats so girly about an elise? :D Most of the girls I know don't like elises because you can't get in the while wearing a skirt and because there is no mirror for doing make up in.

Be careful (in how you drive and what you post) or you may not have your car or your licence for long........the results may affect others too!
