Bored? Never, but while Will enjoys towing stranded cars with the Defender (he actually did) we'll be driving roof down ![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
You can unbolt the defender roof quite easily, that would be proper British topless motoring!!![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
(You can also go tow people out!!!)
Yes you can unbolt a Defender roof easily. Getting it off the Landy is something else - though that might have had something to do with me being 8 and more of a hindrance than a help to my father.

I also seem to remember a fair old amount of swearing when it went back on too.

Maybe go for the SAS Landy look?

I've endangered my life so many times with the wife - she hates having teh roof down unless it's +20degC, i.e. never in Scotland. She's got this theory that the only person happy driving in a car with the roof down is the driver, and insists that the passenger(s) ALWAYS look miserable. Tough, I say. WTF's the point of a roadster if you don't put the roof down???
The shiny ground is black ice, I fell on my arse exiting the car for this pic, -3degC IIRC:

And me being a dick and ignoring the "Road may be unpassable in winter conditions" sign, and being faced with this 5 miles later down a singletrack road![paperbag](/inc/images/paperbag.gif)

-3? Pah, it was -8.5 with the roof off on my journey to work today. I accessorised my suit with a scarf and woolly hat.
Yeah I know, shocking ![getmecoat](/inc/images/getmecoat.gif)
Worst I've experienced was a heavy hail shower - temperature was fine as was driving at 40mph+. It certainly encourages you to overtake any slower cars sooner rather than later as the hail fecking hurt...

My wife is definitely smiling in that pic.In the S when my ex GF lost the roof I drove down to Dorset in some of the heaviset rain I have ever experienced. When I arrived there was an inch of water slopping around in the footwells. Needless to say I was somewhat damp too.
I have the roof off the Chim most mornings, but chickened out recently. Maybe I should use this time off work to go and dig a tunnel to the garage instead of doing this......
Great thread BTW, will post pics soon.
