After work early this morning the urge to drive my car was too much. Not just to drive but to drive with the roof down. In the cold. And rain. With my sister in the passenger seat we decided whom ever asked to raise the roof lost and was a wimp. At around 4am we decided to go drive through Huddersfield Town center to see if we could get any looks or abuse shouted out our craziness, or brilliantness as I like to call it. Thursday was about performance so today is about posing. After that. Which yielded no results we headed for the motorway via Leeds road.

The funny and strange thing about driving with the top down is just how warm it stays as long as you have the fan heaters blowing, and also how not one drop of rain will touch you if traveling over 25 mph. There’s also a certain charm about the roadster. How all the sounds of driving are louder and more clear. You have a new collection of sounds to explore. Even going under a bridge sounds like never before. Also its educational if your into aerodynamics, the force of the air coming off the windscreen was so powerful and precise in its direction. You can even feel the effect if the passenger disrupts the air flow with there hands through the steering wheel.

We took the Wakefield turn off and continued to travel into Wakefield. When in the town center a taxi driver pulled up along side us and looked at us with a concerned expression on his face. After a thumbs up we bolted in front of him and he was gone. It was the only convertible he had probably seen with its roof down this winter, so I can understand but there was no need to be concerned, we was probably just as warm as him. Heading back home we put the roof back up and luckily avoided the really heavy rain that suddenly started. But all in all it was a fun drive! Something not achieveable in other cars
