With the weather getting a bit fairer, the hardtop has now come off. Yes I know this is the opposite to most people, but the sun mullers me and I get burnt, so I wait for the winter and go topless everywhere, the woolly hat and motocross gloves are my friends. My hearing is already better.........the cabin is a lot quieter. Will hopefully be using the car a bit more now too, bring on the cold weather!!!!! yes

Anyone else a freak like me?

Strewth, I use 50-factor sun block on sunny days due to red hair syndrome, but even I have had the hard top off all summer!

Nah, car looks better topless (easier to get in and out of, don't bang my knee on the rail then). Driving at night in the county with the top down is pretty pleasant.

Remember we had a really sunny April and then it rained solidly for a couple of weeks (it did in Norfolk anyway)? Guess when I took the hard-top off frown. It was all my fault, sorry!

I dont have a hardtop, and soft top down over recent weeks have led to a rather red face.

I have a tinge of ginge also according to the missus anyway ;o)

just get a wet suit and a welders helmet for summer, far more skin friendly than factor 50 whale blubber.

or just wear long sleives and a helmet - at least people can then laugh at the helmer rather than your ginger hair biggrin p.s. only kidding

Personally I go with the continentals - I don't understand the attraction of soft tops, you get burnt to a crisp and the sun is permanently in your eyes. Give me aircon and a roof any day.
