Well a fun drive back from Cadwell, as soon as I crossed the border the heavens opened, at one point I had to just stop, so hard was the rain...
Still, could have been worse I suppose, at least I have a roof.

Re: Shower
Wasn't that bad, I managed to maintain the same speed [WINKING FACE]

Re: Shower
Yeah wasn't so much the tyres as my candle powered headlights.
I had to stop every 23 miles to change the wick, and the rain puts the flame out.

Re: Shower
I saw 2 people flash at you so that's at least 2 I saw. One was a truck.Mike Scib wrote:I was running with full beam on, got flashed once!! Lol
My lights on the A66 were absolutely shocking and so bad on the M74 that I couldn't see how deep the standing water was. That'll be a pretty necessary upgrade then.
Re: Shower
I think they were flashing you as you were going so slow [FACE WITH STUCK-OUT TONGUE AND WINKING EYE]

Re: Shower
HID dips are brilliant and do not even need the main beam.

I fitted a set to the VX, just a shame I did not set up the height adjustment as they were pointing to the groundtut wrote:HID dips are brilliant and do not even need the main beam.

Re: Shower
I could see your beams on the road in front of you in daylight. So they are bright enough

First time driving the Elise in those conditions so I definitely wasn't going to give it even 7 tenths never mind 10/10.Mike Scib wrote:I think they were flashing you as you were going so slow [FACE WITH STUCK-OUT TONGUE AND WINKING EYE]
With age comes self preservation and that of my passenger.

For some reason my S1 lights are pretty good. My full beam would melt the paint off the car in front do I don't use it unless it's clear. I chickened out on not having the roof due to the cold by the time I hit Durham.
Glad you all made it back ok.
Edit: just realised I said this in another post too last night...must have been knackered.

Re: Shower
I was loving the drive up home until the heavens opened on the m74.Even doing 40 on the inside lane I was aquaplaning but on well worn ZZRs, I don't know what I was expecting.
Glad everyone made it home safely given the conditions.
Re headlights, neither I nor anyone else on the road seemed to notice the difference between full or dipped. Actually, turning off my instrument lights made most difference to seeing the road ahead.
