Convertibles today

Oh no, here we go.
Both of mine were out today, both roof down. But, it's the third time since I bought it that the MX5 has been topless, and occasionally I can't be bothered to lower the roof in the Chim either.
I paid for a roof, sometimes I use it. Does it matter? One day we'll have a thread 'I saw a car with air con, it was hot and they had it switched off'

Pretty much the first time I've driven my Mini with the roof off and actually enjoyed it - last time was simply a necessity due to a trip to B&Q to buy a curtain rail that wouldn't fit without the miles of space afforded by having no roof.
Was bliss today though - such a difference to yesterday's weather, and even managed to persuade my partner to join me for a trip into town, to lessen the chances of my sexuality being called into question

The roof was down on ours all day today - did over 80 miles, and not one yard with it up. Lovely day.
Had convertibles for 30 years - a good heater, heated seats, a wind deflector, and a roof that will go up & down without having to stop, all help make it really easy to enjoy top down motoring all year round.
If it isn't raining (and sometimes, even if it is) the roof will probably be down. Already done over 1000 miles roof down so far this year, and despite one of the lousiest & wettest summers on record, managed over 8000 miles roof down last year, in our MINI...

One of the best things about the Honda S2K is the roof. I have to stop, but it is about 20 seconds to fully up. This means even when there is a fair chance of a shower, I can still have it down. I have the advantage of living 25Km from town, so no traffic lights or slow running, so it can stay down in a shower, with out a problem.
I get the roof down much less often in the Oz Ford/Mercury Capri, or the TR8, & the same would apply in an MX5 or MR2. It did apply in the Peugeot 306, as you never knew, when you put it down, if its roof would go up again, without an hours work sorting out the indexing, again.
