Did not seep through seam Albert,it just ran over the gap of the side panel and straight at the undercarriage for some strange reason,aerodynamics of a brick me think's.

Another strange one,sat in Spuds car on track in passenger seat and arm on side (exhaust on left side) as to big to sit in skinny seats and twenty minutes after getting out my arm was stinging from exhaust heat and burnt even though we were not going slow,one to watch out for.

If at first you dont succeed,avoid skydiving...

No parachute require to freefall,only if you want to do it twice.

I dont usually wipe the visor on the bike - the wind usually blows it away. If it is a problem you can get stuff to put on that sheds the rain better(rainex?)
You can always wear waterproof overpants . BUT biker gear is by far the best solution.

I'm thinking of giving a kart rain suit a try.

P.S. But really, what we need is windscreens and flap doors.

Leather,Pvc does it matter ?

What ever lights the candle......



Seriously Gents,what was the point of building a two seat sports car if you put on windows on etc for comfort and to keep the rain off,might aswell use the tintop.
