, just don't give him the keys

You coming on the Sprint then?

Part of the point of my journey tonight to see how clean the roads were, was to decide if it's Daytona or XT on Saturday if the roads are dry here when I leave.

What weather report are you guys looking at?

The Met Office website says for West Mids

"Cold, cloudy and windy on Saturday, with outbreaks of rain or snow clearing later."

How can two weather reports be so different?

From my experience over the last year or so with metcheck, they are generally more accurate than other weather stations, so I tend to rely on them.

99% certain I'll be on the DRZ tbh, was only kidding about the sprint, but yo never know.

Metcheck sold the site a few months ago....not been anywhere as reliable since.

They used to be the best by far, but now I'd use BBC or the met office.
