Adam,,as a bet I had to drive my plus 8 with the hood down for one year. I won but I’m unsure who came off worse , me or the car.
I remember having to stop on a motorway one v cold winter day and put my head in an early hot air dryer.
It was a hard year and I wouldn’t recommend it. I have a friend who bet he could wear shorts for a year and he did it but that to was challenging and restrictive.
Just don’t go out in a major downpour.
Dubbin ! Rich you make me laugh and yes I have an old tin cos as an old ex rugby player you never wanted to hang up your boots !

Best to all MM.
PS I have an old Barbour that I should have waxed but never got round to it, so the kids bought me a new one recently for a birthday, Doubt if I will wax that either………
