    The horror the horror! hehe

    I won't even let my wife drive her Jaguar XJR-S in the rain! :)

    Was your drive intentional or did you just get caught in it? :p

    Umm Jimmy, when I drive my car in the rain, like today, it isn't such an event that I would bother to take a camera. Are you really that bored?

    In one of the pics, the ASR sign with the line through it was illuminated. Were you driving in the rain with the traction control off???? (especially in socal where the motor oil in the road raises when it rains, and creates "special" conditions. :)

    Wow....this is really startling!!!

    I was under the impression these things melted in the rain!!!!!

    Ya know....it's been proven that when it's raining, and ONLY when it's raining...the humidity is high enough that the moisture-content in the air (as it's drawn through the intake) actually helps "steam-clean" the cylinders & valves as combustion occurs!! This serves to help remove carbon build-up. Driving in the rain is actually beneficial for your Ferrari: IT'S IN THE OWNERS MANUAL!!!!!

    This could save 355 owners HUGE money in potential valve-guide cost AND help extend the life of our Ferrari's for many miles longer. You could go longer between tune-ups, not have to change spark plugs, keep low leak-down test numbers: the benefits are startling!

    Jimmy.....YOU the MAN!!!!!!

    Well atleast he isn't doing 140mph in a 40mph zone like he used to ... thus he appears to be maturing.

    Oh and by the way you do not have to look through a camera's view finder/LCD screen to take a picture ... just aim it approximately and push the button.

    Pete :)
