Maybe showing off that they had aircon fitted?

Petrolted should talk to the Constabulary and start a name n' shame feature based on using GATSO to get images of closed in Tivs.

Was in blue Chim on Bedford bypass yesterday EVENING with my roof up...but it was ALMOST raining! Although my mates call me bouffy (on account of my voluminous barnet), I am definitely not a bird!

Sorry Guy,

I was going the other way on the dual carriage way in my work lorry.R u sure youre windows aren't tinted to much as im sure it was sunny.

Only joking mate i often leave my roof up to and from work even when sunny as its quite a short trip and cant leave it with the roof off at work or it ends up with loads of dust in it

Where in Beds ru

Simon,

I live on the northern side of bedford itself. Have seen 1xruby, 2xblue, and 1xgrey Chim in the area, and a blue Griff last week. Haven't laid eyes on your yellow beastie yet, but will keep an eye out...I also clocked a brand new Tuscan (green) in Kempston yesterday. VERY smart!

I went for a spin yesterday out to the A1, down for a few junctions, cross country to the M1 and back again, and (you'll be pleased to know), had the lid off all the way. I left the house at 1.30pm though, so missed the entire GP...OOPS!

I was given loads of grief on my way back from Le Mans too for having my roof on, unfortunately I too had the wine, beer tents, etc and a passenger, no room for a roof panel in the boot! Gutted I was too as the Le Mans dust looked great (still not washed it!).

I have my roof up if I am on a short journey .. as it takes ages to get in the boot.
