Hang on.......

didnt want the windows open as it was PISSING IT DOWN

The problem was that you didnt want to sit in the car and get alittle wet with the window open, so you went and stood outside the car instead?!

worded it a bit wrong


didnt want to sit in the car as it was steamed up , so didnt want to have the windows open to get inside wet but the front window hadnt popped through so i put a cover over it just in case, wasnt actually arsed about getting wet so i stood out side anyway
