    Driving me mental

    Driving a convertible in the rain with the roof down.

    This must of happened to someone. Driving down the motorway on a warm day with the roof down and 20 miles to the next junction when the sky's open unexpectedly. I have noticed that in the war films the high ranking German officers usually have the convertible roofs down whatever the weather.
