Cabriolets Only

When was the last time you had your roof down?

 It was a bit fresh last Saturday but went out for a jaunt with the lid down. big coat and heaters on no problem. there were a few snobs out in there merc conv too.

I've had 2 previous convertibles prior to my impending Cabby purchase. The MX5 was driven all year round with the hood down unless it was raining. The hardtop only went on in extreme winter conditions. It had a fantastic heater which helps tremendously.

I also had an E30 BMW 325i convertible but that was alot more draughty ( even with a wind deflector) than the MX5 and I found myself leaving the hood up for most of the winter.

It'll be interesting to see if the Cabby heater is up to warming my toes with the hood down when i get it next week.

I had the roof down on Saturday too, I was in Southampton for the weekend for a mates birthday, we were out shopping at GSF and Euro Car Parts!

First time the roof was down this year!

Saturday afternoon, at the beech, Newquay 8)

Xmas day, doing the rounds with the family. Since then too chicken cause not long after caught the flu. Not the cabrios`s fault, got sneeezed on in a waiting room.

Mine was down last week but its storms in Cyprus at the moment. so not much top down driving at the moment, well not much golf driving as i want to keep my car out of the pot holes!! Back to driving my truck!! Roll on April

Many flies about Walt ?

Walt,

Is that one of those rear wind deflectors?

Is it good?  Where from and how much?

Cheers

Bodi-winchottes, you will find them on ebay. It worked out at ?113.50 inclusive of p+p. I am very impressed indeed, not only is the build quality superb, the fit and also the visual design, but it actually works really well too! I was amazed! Well worth it! They don't mark the car either which was of course my biggest concern! Would you like a contact there?  

Had mine down over xmas was fantasticbut roll on summer way too cold to get out of bed this week never mind have the roof down!

On the way to work on Wednesday, fleeced up to the eyeballs despite the heater on max. I don't care though - what is the point in owning a covertible if you don't get topless  :dontknow:
Don't know about you lot but everytime I drive my cab it makes me   , regardless of how much time/effort/cash she costs me…

Top down drive to work this week - lots of sunny days in between really bad storms.

JPX - Sound familiar?

today in the garage, when cleaning it,  :wink:

Not wanting to put a dampener on top down cruisin' but when I had my (plastic) hood replaced the guy who fitted it told me now to drop the hood in cold weather as thats how the creases and splits occur above the doors etc.

I have kept to this advice and not dropped mine since about October.

It is tempting though in the cold sunny days of wunter to get it down… and be laughed at by other drivers!!!!

PS the XL windbrake is cracking. It covers the rear seats and means that you can store stuff underneath without it getting sucked out. For some reason when I ordered mine 2 turned up.  :dontknow:  sold the other one at Gaydon 2004… within 5 minutes of turning up. Wish I'd had 50 of them!!!!
