Took the Speedster down to Salisbury on Friday late afternoon. Left Reading in bright sunshine. By Amesbury people were shouting out of the window that it was “ not weather for a convertible” Three miles later the SWMBO and I were parked up on a verge UNDER the storm cover!!  It was that damp.  We got a lot of cheery waves. Note to self. No matter how good it looks- it’s England. Take the hood.

Putting the hood up and down when it's showery is a right faff. Much easier to carry a golfing umbrella, then it's dead easy to stop for a few minutes and let the storm pass.

Yes- the previous owner had a totally detachable hood made which sits in a bag and Is strapped to the luggage rack- when I take it!
Will need to take up golf and get a brolly.

It could have been worse JB just think what would have happened if she had just got a perm.

It happened to us on the way to the Le Mans Classic - torrential rain and we had no option but to keep going as were were on the autoroute with nowhere to pull over. Got absolutely soaked - and we were not the only ones!!

It happens. We just laugh it off, and rarely stop. What fun!

Had to stop- couldn’t actually see! Decided it was just too dangerous to keep on guessing where the central line was.

It happens. We just laugh it off, and rarely stop. What fun! Yep. Coming back from France last year the weather was fine when I came off the tunnel. It started to rain just as I passed Chievely services on the M4 and by the time I got to the Swindon junction I was absolutely drenched. There wasn't any point in stopping, so I just carried on, laughing all the way. After all, human skin is 100% waterproof, so you never get really wet.
