Anyone topless?

Managed around 50 miles on mostly dry Surrey roads this morning in the Chimaera - top down, blue sky and sunglasses.
Absolutely wonderful to drive these cars without the lid - they go so much better and the experience is very rewarding.
Did need to use care where there was deep puddles not because of risk of loosing the back-end but to avoid huge sprays landing in the cabin from other traffic ploughing through!

Don't know which I prefer: cold weather with top down, or closing hot/warm weather. Both great in their own ways I guess.
Have you got one of those new-fangled air conditioning thingumies in your Chimaera?

tomorrow to have a nose T350c silly name!!!!!
any suggestions ??
Suggestions? Drop in to Racing Green in Ash Vale, just to the west of Guildford. Have a chat with John Heywood if you're after a TVR - he's very helpful.
Perhaps you meant suggestions for a name for the T350C - I'm a supporter of the suggestion made by another PHer that the car should be branded "Typhon" - see www.pantheon.org/articles/t/typhon.html for relevant background - the name Typhon seems very apt!

Tony M: glad the visit to RG was productive.. I had full geometry check on the Chimaera there on 12/13 and found the driving difference pretty amazing. Since i had just had new S02s the saving on tyre wear from correct settings will make the geometry check and adjustments a v good investment. I won't be able to get down to RG on 1/25 but will be down there in the spring to look at Tuscans

I can confirm that snow does not enter the cockpit while driving with the top off. The major problem is that keeping this aerodynamic phenomenon working in one's favour requires driving at speeds in excess of 20mph.
Alas this is not always possible on slippery roads filled with 4wd numpties going at 19mph! But it was fun for a while
