Yes. The Racing Team Netherlands Shirt I bought a few years ago was only worn for about 10 seconds, because it had turned black in that short amount of time. Not a good idea to wear yellow.

If Paul brings his "Norris", the stench of it will chase them away.

Ahh ...... those who have never been to Scotland in the summer!

For many years, I followed the Scottish rally for all 3/4 days of the event, sleeping in the car etc etc ......

Believe me when I say, you really, really did NOT want any midges in your car over night! Little Bas****s!

Not only that, they already proved to be rather good. As to the last forcasts, I noticed that "as to you know what coming from the skies" the reliability is only of five days (also called index of confidence) and not fifteen.

All in all its improving.

It's actually a solar panel that charges a battery which powers the fridge. And that also charges phones and camera batteries too.

Weather was diabolical the previous week. But looks far better now. Hopefully good weather for Normandy the next two days as well!
