Hope no-one was driving their car to Leven Lotus this afternoon! Wet suit and snorkel required.

I drove to CMC. That was exciting enough!

Then the trams were suspended when I needed to catch one to the airport. So I trudged through monsoon and a fair few floods and caught the airport bus at Maybury instead. Phew!!

Just about dried out here in London.

But EasyJet already predicting delays for my travel home tomorrow night. We shall see eh ...

Wife explained to me last night there was a flood at Leven Lotus and a "manager" was out helping motorists. I have no idea how she was aware of this but my brief hope was she is shopping for a lotus without me :D

Ach the original link is no longer working. It showed a BMW with water up to its headlights on the corner outside Leven Lotus. I reckon it would be up to the windows of an Elise.

This story has a few images of the approach road to the garage.
