I've just driven back from Maynooth to Howth via the M50. It's a nasty night out there, the rain is pouring down and there's lots of water sitting in pools on the road. There's plenty of muppets out driving too - a perfect recipe for disaster. So if anyone's travelling any distance tonight or early in the morning take it handy and avoid the muppets. |

Hope you are not refering to me John  as I am just in the door also and cruised home at a nice speed I have to keep testing the Eagle F1's to make sure they do the job in the wet and boy they do, not once did the steering pull when I hit large amounts of surface water. But a few 'Muppets passed by me in heaps of junk driving at mad speeds in cars I know couldn't stop in the dry never mind the wet.------------- Now 2004 M3 Coupe Silver Grey with all the bits |

Just on the door, and it's the same in the west. Rain is bucketing down. Tyres are keeping very good grip, though! ------------- "http://www.tempoantiques.com"">

I drove back from Malahide on the M50 tonight and I have to say the conditions are bad. That road holds a serious amount of water.  ------------- Richie
