BoostMonkey said: If you want shoddy workmanship, work supposedly done to a car that isn't, inflated bills, and the worst mapping that I have ever seen (they take out all the safety triggers to cut boost in their maps, nuts & bye bye engine)
Plus a workshop that is on the way to a quarry, so everything is covered in a thick layer of dust then don’t use these cowboys.
The driving you witnessed, sums up their approach to their work & customers, that they dont give a crap. Had no idea they were that bad  Only just gotten into fast Ford's recently having picked up a Fiesta ST and am looking to get work done in the future, JS were a real option for me as they are relatively local and this thread has put me right off them. Mountune will be getting my cash I reckon

Never been off in the 12 months I have owned it. Do I care about your opinion whether the roof should be on or off no, not really. That appears to be your problem not mine.

That appears to be your problem not mine. Indeed. It's not "knob" territory. Undertaking at 90? Knob. Parking on a zebra crossing? Knob. Doing 60 in a 20 whilst bouncing off the rev limiter past a school? Knob. Sitting behind me in a 40 zone, 1 ft behind my bumper and flashing me? Knob. Leaving a roof up on a car you own whilst driving it? Choice.

Covered in stupid stickers (the shocker, a "POKED YOUR MUM ON FACEBOOK" sticker, one of those "Neverbeen" stickers etc.) and with a drift charm hanging off the rear end. I think I've seen this guy driving around before, carbon fibre bonnet & bootlid with a naff spoiler on it?

mustard tab said: doogz said: Man up, it's warm enough. it certainly is, if its not raining, the roof should be off otherwise whats the flippin point of having a car where the roof comes off, the least warm i have had the roof down was 5.5 degs going over the Milau bridge. My reason for the post was after observing a number of numpties this morning driving to work, without passengers, dont know about a full boot, but pleasant conditions, warm and sunny, if you dont want to take the roof off they why bother having a convertible, ergo, knob It's called freedom of choice, and there may well be a multiplicity of reasons why people driving to work didn't have the roof down, it doesn't make them knobs It is not made a condition when you by the car that you must lower the roof every time the sun comes out, indeed when I see a "numpty" in a convertible with the roof down on a cold day I tend to think knob. Trying too hard, never a good look.

Equally, it depends on length & speed of journey.
If we're only going two miles it's not worth putting the roof down, and if we're spending most of the journey on a motorway it can be a bit wearing.

Trying too hard, never a good look.  Putting your roof down is a choice, you shouldn't call those that choose not to do it a knob. But those that do it when they choose to are numpties, and knobs? Bit ironic, no?

(just asking) No (MX5) but if you're just going to the supermarket 2 miles away and you like to put the roof up again when you park, then presumably repeat the process on the way home, it's easy not to be bothered.

Bit ironic, no? Those who pour scorn on people for not getting their roofs down at the first glimpse of sun are often the same people who drive around with their roofs down in sub zero temps, wrapped up like a biker.

Those who park blocking dropped kerbs on street corners specifically put there so wheelchair users and prams can mount/dismount the kerb easily. All because they can't be bothered to park in a proper parking space several yards away.

I have a friend with a mobility scooter - when walking alongside him, I've seen him have to take big (<200 yard) diversions because of people parking like this. Very educational.

I have an Elise, the hardtop is bolted on. I think it takes about 1/2 hour to take off, but I wouldn't know as I have never taken it off. I have a soft top for it as well but prefer the hardtop.
