I was just trying to picture it ...

This is the Hanau-Aschaffenburg usw. bit, right?  Back in the early
1980s, one of my colleagues had one of the first Type 44 Kombis.  He had
the electric sunroof option.   He'd just come out of the Hanau complex,
and was barrelling along the straight towards Offenbach, as a large and
violent thunderstorm approached.  He was, as we all were, driving
leadfootedly.  He left it until the very last minute before pressing the
sunroof 'Close' button - and the fuse blew.
