Wow that Weather !

[Rusty's Uncle]

I live at the top of a great big hill so if my house ever floods a lot of others would be in real trouble but we do get battered by the wind and rain being on the edge of the Chilterns. Friday night was a battering but everything seemed OK. Went off on a mission on saturday morning in my little Seat Arosa and the good lady spotted that I had lost the big cover over my nearside wing mirror 
Mystery , had someone nicked it or had it blown away ?
Drove round the block a couple of times on the lookout but no luck. Started looking on eBay for a replacement then weyhey !
Perched on a wall a couple of hundred yards up the road was the cover 
Clipped it back on and it don't come off that easy so that wind was pretty wicked

I was going to start this account with "once upon a time" as I know that BV likes to curl up with a nice cup of Black Sheep and a storey with a happy ending

Well, Rusty, there are many a tragic story relating to our cars so it's really good to hear that all ended well on this occasion! I'm tucked up in bed on my iPad with my sheep  so this little tale will help give me a peaceful nights sleep. 

PS

Still waiting to gear back from Italy about that 'stuff' taking longer I than expected to get a reply.

Just out of interest on a related topic, where is the air inlet on a 126?

Just wanted to know how at risk are 126's by flood water, not that I'm intentionally going to drive one into a flood you understand, but it would be handy to know if there is a limit to be aware of.

I'm with Rusty on the force of the storm round here, we live about 2 miles apart and Friday night was fearsome, with several trees coming down. Hoping the rain will end soon.
