having fun yet ? we did yest those winds were over 80kph here and the place was FULL of broke tree branches and bits most of day clearing.
It was fun on the boat. I never knew the entire thing could shake water off like a dog. The shaking at one point loosened a 15 foot long ceiling panel which fell into the passageway. A passenger was hurt when she was knocked off her feet as well. They did a roaring trade in sick bags too (fortunately neither of us were affected).

Found the below in the drivers footwell, any ideas?

It's ~15mm x 20mm flexible and feels like a blanking cover just no idea from where o_O

Took the 129 for a burble to Blaye.
On the way down and back saw a few classic British sports cars including MGA, Spitfire and Sunbeam. Also saw two beautiful Renault's including a very nice A110 (original not the new version).

The 129 as usual behaved flawlessly and attracted more than a few admiring glances.

Is it a cover for the Obd port ?
Nope :( - too small and I have a flap/door over the OBDII port - none of the electrons are going to drop out onto my right knee on my car :D:p

What about something from the folding roof mechanisms that has dropped into the car ?
