Default This depressing weather

I don't know what it's been like where you live but here near Skipton it's been utter crap and just rained and rained and rained for days and now it looks like I'm probably going to flood later on today

The only good weather we had this summer was when we were on holiday on a different continent

My NSX is a sunny day car. Its done 300 miles this year, and that involved it getting caked in crud

Which is why I'm selling it. And getting something I can use everyday come rain or shine and not be so bothered about.

I think this summer has been ok, not outstanding, but not the worst by any stretch.

Bob washed the car Sunday evening between showers, he hadn't even finished and it started raining again. We finished it off last night in between showers and now it's filthy again and hasn't even been driven anywhere. Bloody rain

Someone cheer me up please, I'm feeling like a right old misery guts today

I had a 356 for that same reason, sold it and made a nice profit, I guess it's been sat in a garage since.

I've had the roof off loads this year! Mind you,if its dry thats a good enough excuse for the roof to be off.

I can cheer you up if it helps
Just checked the long range forecast and while we are away in sunny hot hot hot hot hot (did I mention it will be hot) Portugal, the weather here in rainy Uk will not top 18 degrees and will rain most of the 10 days

On the other hand, its why we have a "green and pleasant land." But it would be better if we had a bit of sunshine from time to time.

Funny thing though, when I was out in Canada for 18 months where it was sunny nearly every day, we were longing to see a bit of rain!

That's exactly how it was when I lived in Tenerife. I doubt it rained more than 5 days per year. You'd soon see the Brits out in the rain as soon as it fell as they'd missed it so much.
