    Left the circuit after the cancelled display laps (very sensible decision I thought) had to stop when the screen misted up (note to self: fit heated screen asap), what a great advert for the heated screen group buy!! and then drove home in BIG FAT RAIN with drops the size of golf balls, car was great but discovered it has no potential as a boat!!! roof scoop is equally effective scooping water as air in these circumstances, and there are a couple of areas around the drivers door seal that require more investigation. If you have the window open and the wipers on the slipstream dumps all the cleared water straight through the gap. Car ran perfectly all the way home. On the A120 at Buntingford fork lightning hit the field about 20 yards from where I was, left a big black scorch mark on the ground about 5 metre circumference, and the static in the air made all my hair stand up!! On a final note really good note, nice to see people in the flesh and catch up, thanks to all involved in organizing a really good day.
