First thoughts of commuting

Despite still owning the Subaru, I've commuted to work in the last few days using the Caterham. Fine, it's only five miles, but I've discovered a few things.

1) Putting the hood up the night before is a great idea if you tend to rush in the mornings.
2) Getting in with the hood up requires practice in a quiet place before you unleash your technique on the public.
3) Even at 70mph, it really is pretty civilised with the roof up. Much less wind noise and no buffetting.
4) Having a hood that has a sun roof - a clear panel above your head - makes it lots less claustrophobic.
5) I've been tempted to drive much further on the way home.
