Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson played Kiljoy as he goes out in search of british drivers who prefer to drive open-topped despite driving rain and howling winds. Funny video clip from the BBC.

  • perfectly british! The weather may be rubbish but my lord we will not put the hood up. Spot on

  • I know how much Jeremy hates motorcycles... but the arguments put forward are the exact reasons I love to ride my sickle in any weather... life is to be experienced, not watched through glass. Loved the old duck "we laughed because what else could we do"

  • I found out you only get wet under 70 mph in an MGB, so it's perfectly ok on the motorway. Unless of course you get into a traffic jam. :)

  • The UK has all forms of weather, i prefer a seasonal climate, it'll put hairs on your chest.

  • @KPKaccountt

    Sunburned? You're in an environment your ancestors did not naturally adapt to. Are you of northern European descent?

    Move to Norway, UK or Sweden! lol!

  • Poor Anglos, Saxons and Jutes.

    When these Germanic barbarians invaded Rome and took the land, they should have followed the Franks, Visigoths and Vandals... then they'd be living in much nicer lands down south. ;-)

  • the weather in britain is always gloomy, cloudy..It's an amazing land but I don't think I'd feel happy under cloudy skies all the time.

  • I wonder how safe it is to drive with an open top car: What if you get hit and you can't see for a few seconds and you are going really fast? A simple small stone can hit an eye or something..Anyways, beautiful cars!

  • So the hood is the top, and the bonnet is the hood, and the boot is the trunk? Right?

    I'm working on the English-to-English translation here. : )

  • This is so painfully 90s

  • @massonwas many europeans like summer,but here in indonesia we want cold wet weather,u see,i like summer but in here its too hot,we sweat almost everytime when walking outdoor,we get thirsty easily,we get sunburned
