Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Kicking myself :-)

Hi,
I took a drive out in my 4/4 Sunday morning over to Denbies for breakfast in their Gallery restaurant.
Planned a nice route avoiding the M25 and sticking to B roads where possible.
Set off with the roof down and side screens off as the forecast I read was for cloudy but brightening later (no mention of rain).
Less than 5 minutes into the journey it started to rain! Not to be detered we carried on convieneced it was only a brief shower!
It continued for the whole journey and even beagn to get harder as we arrived at the Vineyard.
I quickly parked and took off my headrests so that I could fit the tonneau while it sat in the car park.
The view from the Gallery consisted of me watching the rain pour over my newly polished car!
When we returned to the car a couple of hours later the tonneau had 2 rather large puddles on it, one each side of the zip.
Stupidly I lent forward to carefully open the zip and both puddles poured straight into the car!! between them I reckon that was at least a gallon of our finest acid rain all over my leather seats and carpets......I could have kicked myself :-)

Today I spent the day removing both seats, lifting up the carpets and hanging them out to dry while blowing a heat gun gentley into the footwells to dry out the wooden floor!!

Oh the joys of our English weather coupled with our stiff upper lip and refusal to stop and put up the roof and not to mention the stupidity bit lol
