Sorry if this has been discussed before & I'll rely on the front row to point it out within 10mins if it has......

Driving round all day today with the lid off...... Dave & I were discussing how/what flying objects may enter the car..... after finding a number of leaves & also following some knob jockey who flicked his cigarette butt out of his window into our path....

What's the strangest thing that anyone has ever heard of landing in the car with the roof off?


P.S. We saw no less than FOUR hypnotherapy grey things - all with their lids on!!

Oddly enough, even though I have the roof down a lot and even leave the car parked with it down, I've only ever had one thing inside. Unfortunately it was seagull shit - made quite a mess and I bet those who saw it happen (I didn't) had a giggle at my expense

Hasn't stopped me though

So far after 1000 miles, mostly with roof down, cigarette butts and leaves seem favourite.

Near misses have been bird poo and worse still - Chav Gob ..... they only tried the once.

Driving back from the Goodwood Festival of Speed, 2003, I had a little run with a 'puss yellow' Boxster. As I pulled out to overtake, it threw up a stone which somhow managed to find its way into the cabin and stike me firmly on the forehead.....fortunately I was waring a cap......a BAR Honda cap......the stone hit the 'Lucky Strike' badge!!!!

(P.S. this ungentlemanly behaviour did not stop me overtaking the Porker!)
