s200
gallardo

and this is in wet wales, where have they all been hiding over winter?

I've been seeing plenty of Audi A4 diesel convertibles these past few days. Look like charabancs, it's like being at the seaside circa 1920!

I don't understand these diesel convertibles, but the owners must love getting the top down and hearing that diesel 4 pot grumbling away!

[soad]

Just a few, mainly Audis.

[PlayersNo6]

Loads of assorted drop tops today. No less than four MkII MX5s locally.

A lot of interesting cars out in the sunshine including two very nice Ferraris at Cliveden - no idea what model though.

We're already coming out in force! Have had mine down constantly this past week. Thumbs down to the ones with their roofs firmly up.

[SystemParanoia]

just the one

[Kinky]

Saw a Chimaera in Henley at lunchtime today with the roof up

[B'stard Child]

I don't get why people don't

I realy enjoyed my new years day topless run out

[Urban Sports]

Of all the days, mine decided to throw a wobbler FFS, I'd have loved to have gone to Oulton today as well, roof down of course

I made sure I shouted wimp at every convertible driver with the roof up as I drove past them with the T-Tops out on the weekend

Heck, I don't even have a wind deflector

Saw a lot of common cars with the roof down MR2 Audi A4 etc. Ones of note include a Morgan 4/4, TVR Griffith and a MGB. I also saw approximately 1 million motorbikes today.

[falkster]

As I left work this afternoon I saw a middle aged bloke driving a 307CC with the roof down.

[okie592]

I did see a caterham on the m4 must of been bloody windy was a really nice dark blue with gold stripes

[Perd Hapley]

I saw a bunch today too, only mildly interesting one was an MG RV8.

I don't see why a convertible has to be a sports car. Why shouldn't you be able to enjoy top down motoring on your econo-box?

[g3org3y]

Quite a few around here of late. Plenty of MX5s but also 3er and A4 cabrios (esp in white).

[Baked_bean]

I went out for a topdown run in my mk1 mx5 earlier and saw loads of convertibles with roofs down, mainly boxsters.

Saw a couple of 'accessorie' cabs with roofs up though.... dissapointing!

[ls3steve]

Yes, why wouldn't you want to fold down the roof to hear the glorious diesel clatter?

I only saw one today, but I was only out briefly, but it was an S2000 going topless - I bet the bloke driving was off to have some bloody good fun.

I also saw a few bikes today today, including a lovely 2005 Yamaha R1 with an Akrapovic underseat exhaust, seriously loud and looked stunning with the blue metallic paint.
