Wow! Just wow really, what fantastic convertible weather..... spin

Hope you've all been enjoying the sun and the joys of open air motoring. Days like these make you really appreciate it. Although I have no idea what the person in the red MX-5 with the windows down but the roof up were thinking yesterday in the mid day heat or the lady in the Vauxhall Tigra convetible also with the roof up and the windows down......

Why buy a vert and not use it? confused

I don't bother if it's a short drive, and sometime I leave the hood up on the motorway.

It gets too hot for some people/can't be arsed/didn't buy the car themselves etc....

I don't like being in direct sun much myself (great in Dubai I know); so tend towards morning, evening and night-time use.

Perfect roof down weather! had ours down today while out found ourselves going the long way to all our destinations! hehe,
some times if its sunny but not warm we keep the roof up but only because of ZOLLAR junior in the back.

I was roof down all Saturday at Llandow, but drove home roof up, as I was (and still am) suffering sunburn.

Roof down is great. Brilliant in weather like this. However, my personal favorite is roof down on a clear night.

Ding!

Incidentally tonight looks to be an excellent top down night - shame I'm at work.

I'll stick with air con and relative serenity to sunburn and wind roar.
