It's raining and someone has left a roof down!
Discussion
Probably not the first time people have seen something like this, I have seen it several times myself but it never fails to make me smile!
Feel free to add your own anecdotal pictures and stories, if I can be bothered I will type out the one involving the brand new TT I once saw fall ill of a similar although much worse fate!

Yep, it hilarious isn't it? 
Saying that though, unless the roof is stuck why would you not put the roof up while you go shopping? Seems a bit daft.
Maybe the OP could get a photo of the owner returning, I can guess what the owner will look like....

Jesus that interior is going to be wrecked.
If i saw this and it was a manual soft top I'd be inclined to try and put the thing up. I would hope someone else would to the same for me.
Sadly these days people seem to delight in others' misfortune, a point that your post has proven.
Agreed, OP why, exactly, is it funny? If i saw this and it was a manual soft top I'd be inclined to try and put the thing up. I would hope someone else would to the same for me.

Are you one of these sad envious fools who has to squirt your windscreen washers when there's an open soft top behind you?
I've actually pulled up an MX5 top during a summer rain storm in a car park before. That made me happy.

where are you as in gloucestershire its hot & sunny at the moment.
Am in Milton Keynes, its been lashing down on and off for about an hour!Would have love to have helped the poor guy but its an electric roof! (2000 megane!)
In my defence there was a very large black cloud when the guy parked up, surely if you are the owner of a convertible you know to look for these things. Also as its been raining for so long I would have thought the owner would have already returned, but he has not....

1. Honestly? Because it isn't happening to me (this time, I have fallen fowl before)
2. Nope, I like a good soft top!
Would have pulled the roof up but there really isn't a way!

Agreed. Always roof on unless its outside the local Tesco Express and I know I'll be 2 minutes.head's mcflurry or some bird st that makes a mess of the interior.It looks better roof up, too.

Please don't be bothered. How someone who purports to have an interest in cars can laugh smugly this is beyond my understanding. if I can be bothered I will type out the one involving the brand new TT I once saw fall ill of a similar although much worse fate!
