Last week I was driving through Wales in heavy rain with the roof down. Had my photo taken by a passing car. Fortunately I was crusing at 70ish so didn't get wet, I pulled into a petrol station to put the roof up when I was nearing my destination.

Any one else like driving in the rain?

I saw a Wedge 400SE driving out of London on the M4 (just outside the M25) on Saturday afternoon about 2pm - roof down - pissing down with rain. It did sound good biggrin

yes I like to keep the roof off for as long as possible... somehow it just feels a much nicer car without the lid on.

Never driven with the lid on for long enough to have an issue with that. wink
It's more that I tend to get the roof out of the trunk when the insides are getting too wet, and then even with my side window open the blower has a bit of a challenge to de-mist the windows... and if the roof leaks through me not putting it on properly, it keeps dripping on my right hand. mad

It's fine until you have to stop for traffic

Yep.

I also got caught in a hailstorm once in my Wedge, that wasn't a good day out at all.

But I've driven in lightly snowing conditions with the roof off, and lots of scarf on...
