Smile Rain, Rain, Rain

On the return trip from the London Cobra Show last June our caravan drove 70 miles in the rain. From Cincinnati to south of Louisville. Most of the time we were able to maintain 65-70 mph. Coach had 1 1/2" of rain in his footbox. Coach's shoes and pants legs were wet but the rest of our cloth were dry. Most of the rain blows over you if you can maintain speed. I had a beach towel placed on the passenger side to catch the water dripping off the top edge of the door/dash. Bad door gasket. My G-Force tires performed great in the rain. I've got lots of pictures of us in the rain on several different occasions. Rain and open top cars go together like peas and carrots.


I say: lean forward and drive faster!
