Out and about with a soft top. Safe?

I didn't even put the roof on my VX220 half the time.

See? I knew I was being over cautious really. Nothing against Liverpool AT all by the way - I love the place and my family are from there. Likely to be being parked by the Echo Arena tomorrow.

I might check the size of the luggage we're taking and see if it fits in the MX 5 then. Would be a missed opportunity, I know.

We often park by the albert dock in the mk1. never had any particular problem. My wife won't drive into town with the top down, but I don't understand her reasons.

I drove through the city centre of a weekend one winter at 2am when I finished work, I wanted to see what it was like in the cold, it must have been about -2. A few strange looks but mostly laughs and smiles, was only afterwards I realised it could take one drunk idiot to ruin it but it was ok in the end.

Waking up in huyton now. Had great weather for the trip to Castleton. Arriving in the Peak National Park from Chesterfield way, my wife's reaction was priceless. Loved it. I grew up in the northwest so knew what to expect.. Stopped off in Castleton which was relatively quiet when we arrived, so a good time of year to go. No time for Speedwell or Blue John this time but the open top drive out to get on the M62 afterwards was glorious. car survived in the arena car park of course last night; worrying about nothing.
