It's called liquid sunshine.

When you don't get any for a while, you soon miss it.

You are giving me flashbacks to being a TA REME soldier in the early '80s, along with "there's no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing" and at Otterburn in February, "Edwards, where's your kit?" "I'm wearing it, Staff!", (two complete battledress, 2x thermals and under crackers; -8C with a 20-40mph gusting north wind with a stuck, broken Bedford, before a long drive back to Diss).

That is awful, seems world wide an increasingly common event. In some instances building on flood plains doesn't help. Anyway, hope everyone is safe.

the reality is places like this and Firle place are exactly the conditions most of these cars will drive in. Apart from the ones that will never see mud obviously!

Every time I think I'll go white I see the silver and think I'll stick to that.

Are the seats in the prototypes the finished article? i know they've had a lot of backsides in them, but they're starting to look a bit second hand early.

I was meaning the sides of the chairs looking like they are sagging badly and not holding their shape very well more so than the face of the seat though.
I've leather seats now, but they have MSA canvas covers on them more often than not.
I'll get the OEM seat covers in any event, but that's not going help the bases from falling out of shape. I would have thought Recaros were the bomb.

I think it's more noticeable with leather.

Edit: Scratch that. I've yet to see photos of how the vinyl is holding up.

The bases get damaged by keys and wallets in back pockets , the side bolsters aren't meant to be sat on. If you are large in the arse department the seats will sag and wear.
Side bolsters are sporty and all , but they quickly get scuffed with use. Especially if you wear jeans and overalls. Hence , seat covers.
