Tru,
Think of driving between the flakes as practicing for racing around the cones. I kept being told that if I drove fast in rain I would not get a spot on me. Obviously when I got caught in the down pour, I never drove fast enough.
What did you mean by "Well that certainly didn't work?"
Weather here is not nice either. Rain, cold, wind and much snow in mountains. Can't drive anyway as I have carb off the car and it is on it's way to L.A. Oh well, at least I can say part of my car made the trip down there.
