Well.
I was just joking around today and said that I'd come along on a road trip in my convertible with scarf, driving gloves and goggles. I've now decided I actually truly genuinely want the goggles and scarf. Plus a had to keep my ears warm. Just like old time aviators. Plus a pipe for the look. I think it could be handy in all sorts of situations. i think it would be hilarious driving around in the middle of winter with the roof down on my car wearing all that gear. Especially if I think got a horn put on my car that I could squeeze to make a noise. A lot like Toad from Wind in the Willows.
Plus it'd be great for fancy dress parties. Not that I've ever been invited to one, but if I was it'd be great!
Call me crazy if you will, I think it would be cool. Just where on earth am I going to get all that gear from??

Oi I can remember you being invited to a fancy dress party, well a "How to Host a Murder" anyway, so don't go sprouting that you've never been invited to one when it's a lie, a lie I tells ya! :)
this is from Toad of Toad Hall.. i loved it when i was a kid :)
The world has held great Heroes,
As history-books have showed;
But never a name to go down to fame
Compared with that of Toad!
The clever men at Oxford
Know all that there is to be knowed.
But they none of them know one half as much
As intelligent Mr Toad!
The animals sat in the Ark and cried,
Their tears in torrents flowed.
Who was it said, "There's land ahead"?
Encouraging Mr Toad!
The army all saluted
As they marched along the road.
Was it the King? Or Kitchener?
No. It was Mr Toad.
The Queen and her Ladies-in-waiting
Sat at the window and sewed.
She cried, "Look! Who's that HANDSOME man?"
They answered, "Mr Toad."
