So I'm sitting in George Square in Glasgow at traffic lights when a brand new convertible pulls up along-side me. Being into cars I glance over to check it out as it was a good colour, but to my surprise the guy driving is sitting with the top down, which is no biggy I hear you saying ........... but he's also wearing a full-face helmet with the visor down.  Now I know this sort of thing goes on in the US where personal safety is at paranoia levels, but I can't help thinking to myself if you're going to enclose your head in a protective cocoon and not allow yourself to enjoy the experience of open top driving then why not just buy the saloon version and save yourself a load of dosh. Would you wear a full-face in a convertible? WeegieBob.  |

Remember the days when sex was safe and motorsport was dangerous. Vintage bling always attracts pussy.  |

And no, I would never wear a helmet if it wasn't a legal requirement ! |

Says it all in your post.

Wears a helmet so he don't get a smack on the skull if someone wants to take his car from him.
