oops - rain disaster (almost)!

So I'm sat at the mrs's last night watching the football. Mrs's Dad says there's rain showers forecast, but I look at the clouds and say "nah doesn't look like rain. We'll see if it starts anyway".

Car is sat out the front with the roof still down from the day...

You can guess the rest lol. Except we didn't notice the rain! Mrs's mum comes downstairs and says "erm why are the cars wet? ground looks dry". At this point I jump up and run to the window..."oh my god, cars are wet! cars are wet!" and run outside over the grass in bare feet shouting "grass is wet! grass is wet!".

Needless to say we'd not noticed a shower and my leather seats are holding puddles of rain water lol. Luckily the roof curves over the dashboard and most of the front seats so most of the inside was still dry. Luckily a fast blast home with roof still down dried the rest but it was lucky it wasn't a stronger shower.

I must stop leaving the car everywhere with the roof down lol

Last time the rain caught me out, I was at traffic lights. I bet the cars around me had a good snigger.

Terrible dilemma, do you carry on in the wet and give them all a laugh, or do you annoy them and risk the lights going to green when your "mid roof"

I dont understand why peeps leave their roof down when they arent using it, it takes seconds to put it back.

Sure enough you will have a hot car but i'll take those few seconds of waiting for the roof to open instead of leaving it down all day for tree sap, bird shit, dust, rain, and jealous bastards to ruin the cars insides.

No dilemma at all. Give them a display of your roof going through its act! They can watch and wait.

Blondes get away with it, why not the rest of us !
