Do you find people look at you like you're some kind of freak if you drive with the roof down in anything but the sunniest weather ?

Yep :grumpy:

But they may realise that I actually have to as my head is above the level of the screen

I get that without even needing to drive a soft top

I shout abuse at the one's who have the hood up when it's sunny.I'd have it off all the time.

I might want to re phrase that

So would I, but wtf has it got to do with convertables? :confused:

Just ignore them - I'd be the same if I had a drop-top, as long as it's not chucking it down, get that hood lowered. If it's a bit cold, crank the heater up and wear a hat

As for people driving about in cabrios with the hood up in hot weather (usually Boxsters and various flavours of open Mercs) - WHY?!? What the hell did you buy the car for if you're not going to use it properly?

:rant:

Have the roof off all the time:rolleyes:

I'm still waiting for your "It was sunny so I got the angle grinder out" modification thread Jason.I think its the only mod left for you to do:thumbup:

Mini drivers are also prone to forgetting how the roof works - To the extent that I've never seen one withthe roof down!

Angle grinder is being used in anger tomorrow afternoon. Need to open up some "ventilation" as it happens.

That really cracked me up reading that!

If its not raining then my roof is down,

Thats why i bought it to enjoy driving without the roof on.

If its cold put the heated seat on,coat/jumper/hat/gloves whatever is require and off i go.

Do get funny looks though,especially on the M25 in Jan with the roof down!!!! LOL

Also found that if I'm doing more than 25 I don't get wet - however I always seem to hit traffic - stopped under a bridge on the M1 the other night as it was hammering down and I knoew there were traffic light at the next junction where I was getting off.

I love having the roof down, but as my head is above the windscreen I do get a cold head :( Ah well, I still love driving topless

I do find my left ear gets cold though! With the heater on full blast and the heated seat on everything else stays warm - SWMBO suggested some ear muffs but I think I'll suffer it for now!

I had someone shout to me that "its winter mate" I shouted back that it was actually spring

Me too, or rather I did :(

A beenie hat covering your ears and you'll be fine. No pinky fluffy earmuffs required then

Yep, get some funny looks if the weather is not sunny sometimes. Got a good collection of baseball caps going now. I just love the feeling of topless motoring, so even have the roof down on cold nights. I find that with heater, coat and hat, I can be toasty warm in any weather.

Do have it up if the sun is really hot though, saves cooking in traffic, just put roof up and aircon on.
