Weather for next Saturday at Wakefield Park
Rain WAS forecast for Saturday, so I took the wheels [with road tyres] off the Spyder, and packed them in the T5. Also Rainexed the windscreen on No.8
Beetle.
That did the trick.....now the forecast is 'sunny'........but it WILL BE COLD!
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

If the sun comes out, they will cut through the TRACK.
