I got back early this morning from a day or so in one of our usual hot dusty stop overs and I thought 'I know, I'll start to fit my new radiator, FMIC, new fangled dump valve monstosity, etc' so anyway, I got all the old stuff out and I'm ready to fit the new toys, when, WOOOOSH the heavens have literally emptied about an inch of rain in just under a minute
Im now sat inside looking at the car on the drive and all my tools just getting washed away.

Ok, time for a cup of coffee (I've been awake for over 30 hrs) and then its on with the waterproofs and back to it.

As much as I hate flying out to Afganistan, etc, I really wish we had thier weather.

Do you not have canvas or anything you can throw over her to do the work and keep you dry or a garage you could push her into Jimbo??

Jimbo - £50 worth of pop-up gazebo is what you need - I used mine at TOTB to keep the sun off, and most of the next day at home putting the car back together to keep the rain off
