Same for me. Washed the car in shorts and a vest yesterday. Even with factor 25 on, i'm still an unhealthy shade of red.
...now i've got to polish the car...

Loved the car so much yesterday, I did a nice trip 100 mile round trip on the B roads to Skipton Castle. Managed to avoid getting burnt though exept two little patches on my forearms after applying a load of factor 30 I agree about the wind cooling you down, I've made that mistake before don't worry

I was so hot in traffic at one point I had the aircon on full blast with the top down to take a edge of it. What lovely weather!!

Sun block is what you need and decent moisturiser I suspect.

I still remember Lurking Lawyer's sunburnt face (with baseball cap forehead line?) when he picked up his first S2000 and drove it back to Solihull in similar weather

I think everyone at the North Weald day today will be exhibiting a healthy shade of pink! We were out in it for 7 hours!
