Going to be a fun commute in my Caterham in the wind and rain :-)

Really looking forward to it..... I am a bit of a wussy though as the roof is up.

I did enjoy the drive, the only issue I had was when in traffic on the way home the driver behind me always blinded me as there lights seemed to be on high beam, obviously because the Caterham is so low.

Other than that all fine

Umm makes me think I should use mine more in the winter perhaps with some sunglasses on ?

Great fun. Back in the day when I were yung, I did about 18k miles in 12 months in mine commuting and travelling around to customer sites. What a stupid idea! But those wet blustery dark cold mornings and evenings were the worst!

I find the dipping function on my Caterham mirror vital, almost any car is blinding behind but SUVs are the worst.

Took mine on a commute Tuesday and Wednesday...bit of drizzle nothing too bad, second day even managed to run with the top down! Annoyingly on the first day a lorry covered the entire car in mud which I guess should be expected running in such weather!

At least you didn't get the entire car covered in lorry!

Never had a problem with light reflection, thanks to SBfS draft excluder who dims the light for me :-)
