Just checked the weather for next week. I think the Apocalypse is arriving tomorrow:

More than 50L per m² in the next 24h. Then the same again on Tuesday but more so.

Fortunately we live on the top of a hill.

We're okay as we're no longer in the EU we don't recognise Nachts, Morgens, Mittags & Abends, other than them being a set of dodgy solicitors in Slough.

Any sign or mention of the four horsemen?

I thought you might ask that.

We may need you to audition.

You'll recognise rain, though, I'm sure, you're still British after all.

You checked the registration, see if it's a write off, before you hit the open road?

Looks like it's been modelled on one of those old Jags or Daimlers...

Just a wee bit soggy, then? Is there enough time to build an ark?

It's already started, so probably not. Besides, it's a bit difficult in an attic apartment, although I suppose we can wait until the water gets to the balcony and launch then...

With that wheelbase it's definitely a Smart.

Either that, or it's been put in a boil wash

Had a fun day out at MWA with a cat show friend who is also into motorsports.

Saw some stunning racing cars - most, but not all were short oval, but there was some rally and rallycross machinery there too. Highlights of the day was a lovely display of classic Superstox from the 70s and 80s, a Lancia Stratos, a Ford RS200 rallycross car, a Ford RS1800 rally car and I bumped into an old friend as well. Namely an ex-Torquespeed Chevrolet Monte Carlo ASCAR that now races in the ELMS series.

Shame there were only two stands selling memorabilia. I did have a good rummage, but none of it was of any interest to me as it was mostly hot rod stuff and too recent.

Am really knackered now, so chilling with a and going to reheat a bowl of curry in a bit.

I would have seen them at Foxhall Heath 'back in the day' (that makes me feel old )

That my life has reached this point. Off to Shropshire potato day.

The local one to me is next Saturday and celebrates 25 years - my mum & stepdad have been known to attend.

My sister got a new cat towards the end of last year to replace one that got run over and I got to see it for the first time today when I went to drop off my brother in law's birthday card. It's a friendly little thing as within one minute of me sitting down, it had made itself comforable on my lap and enjoyed half an hour's nap.

Oh, you might find this website of interest then @Jenkins
