The Dixon All British Field Meet was a success and in spite of threatening weather we were dry throughout the show. There were five JH's, one GT (for sale) and two interceptors. All of you no-shows are wimps! ;-)
On the way home we ran into some massive thunder showers that had the car hydroplaning and the fan belt shrieking. It made me wonder if the fiberglass front cover is supposed to exclude water and grime from the timing belt and pulleys. I may have to re-install the thing.
Water was dripping on my left arm and on my passenger's right arm at a rapid rate when the Velcro let loose on the top flap and scared both of us. All in all, quite an adventure.
Back in the garage I sprayed a whole can of WD-40 into every nook and cranny and mopped up the water that ran out and left the car open to dry out.
Wednesday I was making sure everything had dried properly when I discovered the trunk mats were wet, very wet. They were removed and the de-humidifier was put to good use. Yesterday the car was put out in the sun for the entire day to finish drying. It's no wonder so many of our cars are rusty!
