I'll bet....it'll be a bit bracing to say the least!

It was certainly fresh!

My fingers were a bit of an odd colour by the time I got to work this morning.
Might have to look into fitting some heating elements in my steering wheel!

Have you been caught out in the rain yet. I can only assume its a bit miserable then. Worse if its cold rain.

How often are you using the roadster? Is it you daily car when it's warm enough?

Hi David,
I had been commuting in it 3 or 4 days a week up until the end of September.
The last month's been a bit of a washout though, so it's only been out a couple of times

I check the weather forecast before I take her out, and haven't really been caught out yet.
I've encountered some very thick fog and a couple of light drizzly showers, but they weren't too bad. It was just a bit of a pain having to constantly wipe my visor
I really don't want to find out what it's like to drive her in a proper rain shower, I imagine it'd be pretty bl00dy horrible!

You will find that the gap at the bottom of the scuttle and the side panels is very accurate at pointing water at your nether regions,someone on flea bay had a strip moulded for sale to fit on the side to stop it,worth investigating.
