Funnily enough, I suffer from this more in the Heralds than in the Spit. My convertible in particular appears to be completely invisible to many road users. They soon become aware of it when I sound the horns, though. A previous owner fitted a matched pair of 1940s electrical horns to the car. These are the same ones that were used on Rolls-Royce, Standard 10 and Alvis cars, and they sound like the QE2 is coming into dock right behind the blind SUV-driver...
