Ok, the first time top down I've been caught out. Driving home on the twisties see a wet patch in front of me on the road, only a crop sprayer pointing right across the road. Get a right earfull of the wet stuff and nice clean car covered in water inside and out. Still cooled me down though!

I got very wet the other day, parked up at tollbooth to pay a toll and the roof suddenly leaking on me.. water was hitting the secret compartment and spraying everywhere..

Again, quite refreshing and hopefully it was water

you really do hope its water. About 3 years ago i stopped behind what i think was a sheep lorry in traffic and noticed 'water' trickling out the back. The traffic speed picked up and the 'water' started being blown onto my car (luckily not the S). when i turned on the wipers, the water had a yellow tinge, and when i stopped and got out of the car, i noticed that it was somewhat smelly!
