You should be ashamed

To the driver of the blue 500 on Denby Dale Road Wakefield this morning at around 9.15am. Glorious sunshine, clear blue skies and his roof on!!!!!.....please hand in your medallion and chest wig, your membership has been revoked .

This problem is rife!!! Other than TVR's I constantly see all manner of convertibles (exotics and otherwise) with their lids/top up when it has been sunny!. With so little sunshine around of late would you NOT think it a pleasure to gete the top down when it shines? My question to them would be - Why buy the expensive convertible in the first place? Enough said.

I discovered yesterday that I can have the roof panel in the boot and still have room for the golf clubs.....and I have a Tamora not a Chimp!

That's all well and good, but once you've taken them on their one and only trip to the tip you'll have plenty of room for a jack and toolbox.

Pet hate of mine, was at the pump on Sunday in baking heat, roof OFF, when a nice looking lass in a TT drop top pulled up with roof up.
I lost it and shouted across the garage, "GET YOUR TOP OFF" I just got a dirty look as she drove off ;(

lol whats the point?

[Graham]

Sorry Ian, is that a speller? Did you mean leave the wife in the boot.......?

[themac]

Sometimes its just as easy to pop the sunroof up

[tinks v8S]

if your going out and the wife says leave the roof on
LEAVE her at home tell her to put her hat on

[Mr MoJo]

They have roofs ?? You take your wives out ?? Have I missed something ??

[mrhann]

Couldn't agree more!
Having the roof up in nice weather is closely followed in the screamingly annoying stakes by people having the roof off or down but having all the windows up! (or is it only me?).
We had a Griff for 8 years and the only time it had its roof on was when it was parked in the garage or if it was heavy rain or snow.
Cold? Pah!
Light rain? Dont slow down too much!
Why have all that drama around you and then shut yourself away from it was our thinking!

The mantra I apply.....is it raining? if it is, is it really that hard? nothing really comes in when you are above 50mph so you just have to drive a bit faster.

However...I was caught out big time in Rouen last year on route to Le Mans, it chucked it down. It did give me the idea of a square umbrella though just to cover the cabin with the rear up while you are pootling.

The other day I went massively geeky on counting convertibles on my 44mile commute, saw over 60 with more than 30 with their roofs up. Why put up with the grief of a convertible if you aren't going to use it on the best day of the year?
