"There's a caveat of course, because faced by sufficient threat of damage by precipitation"

Nonsense, simply keep above 40mph at all times, and rain will go overhead.

I live in London, 40mph would be great

Hey, where's the "open-topped" graphic thingy next to my long-running thread?

Pretty good heater with 8.3L V10 and side pipes, great way to enjoy snow, never had the chance to do this topless before.

That is very, very pretty looking.

My SLK has the God option. Airscarf stops your ears freezing off at -6c.

got a soft top for my sisters defender sitting in the shed....

can't be any colder than the bloody thing already

[Ari]

I thought it was upposed to be bad for the soft top fabric to lower the hood in less than four degrees C?

Rain, however...

Wimp! That's what hats are for!(Says the man with aircon, heated seats and a roof that goes up and down almost with one hand!)

In true Pistonheads tradition heres my MX5 'Shed', £750 of topless RWD fun! Was well into the negatives when this was taken, got loads of looks driving around, not sure if it was because of the topless action, the fact I was driving past stuck Quattro Audi's or because the thing will only go sideways!

Hey you go to Heriot Watt Uni seen you about a few times. nice mx5 btw, im hoping to get one not too soon!

I'm guessing most of these cars have heaters in them. WIMPS

This little piccie was taken on the Ilkley Jubille Rally in 2008. No heater, no side screens, on top of Ilkley Moor and it was an all day event. At one stage the blizzard was driving snow right through the car as we drove at 40mph.

I picked this little beasty up last week, just in time for the worst snow ever, ever ever.

Unfortunately it is parked up in the garage unable to get out of the estate due to a ridiculous amount of snow & ice. Hoping to get it out tomorrow for a Sunday drive across to Harrogate.

Still cheating though - that looks suspiciously like a roof you have there (or a bin-bag).

And I thought Triumph TRs were considered reasonably upper quality sports cars.

What's the forecast for December's Sunday Service?
