Crisp, clear morning sunrises . . . roof off, thin air (more audible rumble) . . don't it make it all worthwhile . . whilst the numpties stick on their hardtops for winter . . .?

Totally agree, 6 this morning on the A24, cold ears and ash in mye eye but the noise...mmmmm.

anyway, more important things, I go away for a few days and Palace score 7 !

Seriously, early mornings are perfect Tiv time.

Hi, to the Purple Griff outside Warburgs in Finsbury Avenue at 7.30 this morning, you obviously had been having fun as the cooling down noise from your bonnet made me smile.

Its hardly winter yet boys...

Interestingly I have a hardtop for my current car - and didn't bother ordering it on the next one...

...plus don't forget that cold air improves your engine's performance!

Cold air = dense.
More air burning with fuel = more power.
