Was loading a box of Bud into the viper this afternoon at Nads in the sunshine (for a change), placed it on the floor by the back wheels then opened the passenger door to drop it into the footwell, just lifted the box over the seat when I noticed some smoke wafting up the side of the bud box.
After a bit of pondering on what had happened it turns out the sunshine had reflected off the wheel and had created a pinpoint beam of light, which quickly burn't
through the cardboard. We tried it again and it happened again instantly the wheels weren't even that clean.

Great, now you've given Tom another idea on how to beat you guys up the strip
Mr Viper, your wheels are so shiney I need to wear my welding mask to look-see at them! 
I had to see it to believe it though, I thought you were having a laugh at first. It was so cold and windy outside today, if you'd lit a match it would have gone out, the power of a Viper, way to go.
PS...Don't ever park beside my Beloved unless it's dark or in shade!

Shoebag I can recommend the M3 underpass (A331) at junction 4(Frimley), it’s not a tunnel but the best we can manage around these parts
It’s a bit wider than most motorway bridges because of the M3 slip roads. I always hang back, wind the windows down and boot it on the way home when in the viper. It sounds awesome especially as I usually have to jump on the breaks because of traffic and get all the popping from the overrun.
I look forward to hearing you go past my office window soon. Just a shame I can’t see the road. I hear all the decent cars go by but only see the trucks.
