The Polite thing won't work in France. It needs to be in French. I think I'll go with :-

I suppose I could get one of those over bag waterproof covers.

I'll have a think

Monty, I don't think mine was ever designed to be waterproof. It doesn't look like it. I've certainly come home enough times with a bag full of water.

I know about the liners but that doesn't stop the water getting in and the front pouch getting soaked. The Overboard stuff is roll top and very good.

Thanks Duke. I've got the US10 and the straps for it. I've got a large Overboard waterproof bum bag as well.

I've got a R35 as well but it's not waterproof, which is a pain for such an expensive piece of kit.

Can't do Darley, I'm in France.

Let me know what it's like though. I only every see it as a place people use for racing. I've never considered a track day there.

I can't make that one.

It's not the cheapest of tracks is it? There's a Saturday date in May which is £189. With fuel. food and a hotel I reckon I'm looking at £300.

All of the other dates seem to be a Tuesday or a Wednesday.

Still nothing from IAM.

That's pretty disappointing. It's not the right way to drum up interest.

I would use one of the delivery companies.

I suspect that the range will increase as the technology improves and that you'll be able to upgrade the power cells rather than having to get a new car.

That said, the range is going to be good enough for most people who own a car of that size.
