I am ready for the bashing on this!
Is 'bashing' some type of Canadian slang for 'enabling'? If it is, you've come to the right place. Heck, if I recall correctly, Jack McCornack has put over 100,000 miles (not km) on his Locost through all manner of weather. Although he might* not be your average Locoster either. Just look for threads in which people have build their own DIY doors/windows/tops to keep you 'mostly' dry.
Then again, checking One Lap off my bucket list is also one of the specific considerations for my (paused) build.
* Definitely is not.
