Well let's change it to precipitation then.
The hassle of typing that every time should put a few people off at least

Too late ... It rained a little here late this AM. Now it's on and off spitting rain, windy, and no sun. Looks like that will be the order of the day

Hi enuff_zed, i guess I'm at the start of a steep learning curve!! I will avoid any mention of 'you know what' in future posts. Just waiting for the sun to come out then might lose the hard top...or is something to avoid mentioning in the forum
Thanks again buzyg

Cheers firebobby. Washed and waxed I'm guessing...yes it has been. It's my first black car and will be looking for suggestions on how to avoid so many water marks after the wash itself. Leather or one of those rubber blades i've seen folk use.

wood and chippy, of course !!!
I had thought the wood might be a bit marmite, if you know I mean. I had a mx5 which is no longer and promised myself not to indulge in a 2nd car. So pleased i did. Only 2.0 but fab drive...

Welcome to the forum OP - your car is looking great (well other than the wood).
I don't read the detailing section on here much, but I did get as far as seeing that a microfibre towel seems to be the recommended thing to use for drying the car after washing.

Cheers firebobby, I'm in Sawbridgeworth on the Herts/ Essex border. Had been looking at meets that I could get to....
Since your post I have had a look at posts and seems we might be in the minority with 'wood and whippy' (Not chippy )
I am sure my 2.8 brooklands Capri had a lovely dash binnacle - i have plans to change the zed

Looking forward to seeing how your plans work out, as a former 2 times Capri 2.8 Injection owner (sadly both 4 speed though)!
