I already feel nostalgic for that evening.

I can't see the image. Has it been removed?

That's strange, it seems to have disappeared. I uploaded the image to the TM image library, copied the BBC Code "full" (not one of the "link" options) and pasted it into the post. The image appeared for a while last night then disappeared. Just tried the same thing, and using preview got the same problem -- a [Linked Image] label but not the actual image. Any guidance as to what I might be doing wrong?

Worked every time it was posted at my end, though TM was not available for a while not long after you initially posted it, which might be related in some way Adam..?

Our car has an automated system which provides an audio alert if there is judged to be too much rain for the journey to continue without stopping to put the hood up. When the noise gets too much for me, I do stop and put the roof up. The automated system then reverts to its normal role of providing over-speed / cornering-speed warning alerts.

When I am alone in the car, then these automated systems are disabled and I have to use my own judgement as to roof, speed and cornering-speed.

There was one occasion when the automated system lost her voice soon after we started a trip down the Fosse Way to see friends in Somerset. Journey time was substantially reduced on that occasion.

Hi Luddite I noticed that TM was off-line last night (at least here in Sweden) and agree that may have had something to do with it.

That's very interesting Paul. I have noticed that my vehicle also has a similar system, though it addresses a wide number of parameters beyond rain, including: velocity, acceleration, excessive RPMs in any gear (i.e. a rev limiter) and excessive lateral g forces upon cornering. It doesn't seem to like heal-and-toe downshifting for some reason. Also, it seems to constantly evaluate whether the driver is exercising sufficient situational awareness. I must say that the system's limits are set quite conservatively. I have looked in the owner's manual and the original purchase specification to see if the system's alert thresholds can be adjusted somehow but it isn't mentioned anywhere, so it appears to be after-market. I have to admit that I am quite fond of the system, I just wish it was possible to modify when it kicks in. I'm hoping that the limits will organically rise as we get more miles on the car.

A good long road-trip seems to reset the parameters .... mine was previously fitted to a motorcycle so the threshold were quite high ..... now I just get an annoying message about fitting a grab-handle above the glovebox .... I'll have to get round to that this winter to cancel the warning 🙂
