Roof Down Driving

by **mrges** » Thu, 06 Nov 2008 12:08 +0000

Surprisingly, the weather was pleasant enough today to drop the roof for a 90km spin around the Midlands (Mullingar to Delvin to Tullamore to Moate). Got a few strange looks....probably because I was grinning like an idiot and thoroughly enjoying the drive.

Caught the weather forecast later in the evening and see that rain and gales are due tomorrow

Did something similar last weekend as tax about to expire so figured with sunshine, heater on, woolly hat & big scarf... why not. And there, on the road, heading the other way....... another topless 5.....needless to say big waves all-round.

I have a wooly hat & coat in the boot at all times, I was heading off a few weeks back to visit some mates, roof down on the M1 when it started raining. As the rain kept increasing I kept speeding up, the windflow over the car kept the rain off me completely & after 20 mins the sun came back out.

I must have looked like a lunatic though, passing people in virtual darknes, headlights on & the roof down, love it.
