Had a nice little thrash round the moors towards Huddersfield this morning. Christ it's warm inside though with black leather bucket seats and a one speed fan :-)
Opening the rear windows can help get a through put of air, but at the moment it will be hot air!

Car looks great. Where are you based? I'm near Halifax.

South York's but I've found the roads around the Huddersfield moors and surrounding are good drives and less congested than my previous Derbyshire jaunts. I'm only 20mins from the peak district but at weekends it's ruined with cyclists and dawdlers now and sitting in traffic in black leather bucket seats in this isn't fun!
Good point about the opening rears, I like the wind open front quarterlights too for directing air!

A nice big hole in the roof helps in this weather, but I do miss the rigidity of a full roof and and a well fixed roll cage!.

Most areas of the world are spoiled by cyclists these days, but its getting worse in Yorkshire with all the races being organised. Good for the economy and good for getting the pot holes sorted. Bad for us keen back road motorists who have to look out for the buggers all the time.

White.
The red one looks like it's been abused by a hooligan driver!

That was my post on Facebook about it being patriotic!. We do have a green one, but it’s a Skoda so doesn’t quite work!.

Love it too but then I may be just a little biased!

Used to be able to wind the front quarterlights on my Alfetta GTV past 90 degrees so they'd deflect the airstream straight at me. It helped a lot in a South African summer. in a car with no aircon.

Depends how well specced the quad is you’re comparing it to.

The Nring has every option including the carbon brakes - most of all the colour sold it for me, it is stunning in the flesh
