better in the rain

Your top speed, as quoted above, is low Andrew. 

The car should sit comfortably at 40-45 mph, even in your neck of the woods.

I had quoted it was not happy to pull beyond 37. So this morning I tried to sit comfortably at 40 to 45 on the flat. Yes it's comfortable at 40. It reached 46 fairly soon after. Then I ran out of road and had to slow down. In the past I have had it to 49. All these speeds measured via satellites.

Today is warmer, 18 degrees, and not raining, but quite moist after rain a few hours ago.

The weather does seem to make a difference, but worst might be a very hot day, in traffic, with all the bonnet vents closed. It doesn't overheat, but maybe the underbonnet temperature affects the air going in.

Another problem might be me not liking to thrash it.
