Open season

[ZesPak]

Very recently bought the OH a convertible ('04 SLK R170), borrowed it today as it's brilliant weather.

Loving it!
Who cares how fast you are going, I did a 30mi commute in 1h30 this morning and I couldn't care less .

Cabrios FTMFW!

[Garlick]

Alright, don't rub it in.......

[The Nur]

Hell yeah. No roof = more fun!

[Baz Tench]

Yep, just been out with the old man in his MX5, then just in my Boxster. As I thumped it up a bit of a winding uphill road, I got smiles and nods from the occupants in the topless Z4 heading in the opposite direction...

It's the little things.

Interestingly, this doesn't apply to houses.

careful, he might be like 'that' guy, the slightly effeminite looking one, from the new 6 series ad!!!!

Can't wait to get out of work!

[JonnyFive]

Excellent weather.. Got to work with my hairstyle very different from when I left this morning..

Am I bothered? No.

Will I be topless on the way home? Yep

Very much so, the sun is shining over here like it hasn't yet done this year!
The SLK is watching me through the window, almost screaming "STOP TYPING AND TAKE THIS GOD DAMN ROOF DOWN fkING PENCIL PUSHER"

Yer all swines- I was supposed to pick up my Elise last Saturday. Then it was Tuesday, then lunchtime today, then this evening, now it's Friday. All because the PDI revealed it needed a new wishbone that repeatedly fails to appear.

I'll be "enjoying" the sunshine in a car that doesn't even have a sunroof.

Drove the Stag in today. Lovely; I've missed that V8 burble!

I'm counting down the days until I'm home from Uni and can play in my Land Rover again, nothing really (well to me) beats driving a 40 year old Landy with no roof and the windscreen folded down.

That's hardcore!
Any attire you wear? Hat/sunglasses/wrap-around glasses...

I'm 18 and fairly bonkers so I just wear a pair of sun glasses. In fairness though the windscreen is only folded down on quiet relatively low speed roads. I can't say the idea of a stone being flicked up from the car in front and hitting me between the eyes when going about 50 is a nice one.

You must be going downhill to get to 50mph in a 40 year old Landie...

I am a total convert.

It started ages ago - I think the coldest I braved was -10C in the MX-5 though. Will go for -20 next year,
