Default Who's not going if it rains?

I don't own an RS at present, and the highlight of my year will be going to National Day, but what if it rains?

I mean, a lot of you guys won't want to get your gleaming cars out in the wet stuff will you?

For us non owners, we look forward to walking round looking at how well you look after your cars and wishing you owned one. Seeing how much time you have spent cleaning them and then knowing all you have done is drive it straight back into the garage and put the covers on

So the question is, who's not going if it rains?

God I hope the weather holds off.

I missed Ford Fair, and am really looking forward to this weekend.

Might have to have a word with the weathermen to see what they can sort out

The BBC are shite at predicting the weather, if we all lived on the sun (impossible I know) they'd say it would be cloudy with rain later..... lmao

Checked the weather.co.uk site and it says showers all day Sunday at the mo.

Hope it changes cos I missed Ford Fair as well.

I think it depends on how wet it is.

If it's really bad, then no, from past experience of shows.

But if it's just drizzling, then I think they thin the numbers down per session and give out speed warnings.

still deciding, lee doesnt want to go cos of the rain, i know itl be shit putting the tent up but weve got a huge gazebo anyway so thats not too much of a problem.... and yes it means you dont have to bother polishing your car, and we all know how british weather changes, itll probably be scorching sunday then a load of people will miss it cos they think british weather forecasts are accurate
