      I had a Caterham a few years back, and this reminds me of several miserable journeys in torrential rain, at night with the full 'hood' on, and one or two without a roof on. Caterhams aren't particularly good at stopping water ingress at the best of times, your head is at the height of most people's headlights, the wipers are tiny, the side and rear plastic windows mist up and even the heated windscreen wasn't much better. A 'half hood' is generally much better when you're actually driving.

    For best HubNut content, look no further than TWC. Sitting down in that cabin instantly makes the world seem like a big perilous place full of dangers... the wind throwing her all over the place, the soaked and slipping belts, the hail storm, the operator doing their best to drown her in fuel with those choke shenanigans, the massive uphills and huge lorries... but golly she delivered! Long live TWC!
