WHO'S GONE TOPLESS TODAY
Discussion
I was rudely awoken this morning when my other half threw wide the curtains at 0830 and I received the full power of the morning sun in my eyes. Spent an hour with the Meguirs whilst she had her hair done then spent the rest of the day roof off around the county; lunch in St Ives, blast up the north coast and a visit to the Roseland Peninsula. Didn't see another Lotus all day, come to think of it, saw very few convertibles roof off; it was at least 2 deg C, almost Spring, what's wrong with everyone!! Did get a cheery wave from a rather fine Fezzer 360 though. What did you guys get up to today??
Sorry to Tipper and the rest that I couldn't make it on Thu, sounded like a good evening.

Went driving from Sheffield yesterday through the Peak District with the roof off, rather cold as my heating is still not been fixed but worth it as it was so sunny (also loads of snow), spotted a dark blue S1 with his roof on at the top of Mam Tor, then on the way back followed a light blue S2 along the A57 also with their roof on.
I would post a picture if I knew how, what's the website you use for posting pictures?

Cheers Alex, looks even better in the flesh but I can't get a phot that really shows the wheels off to their best, looks more business like than on the original silver.
Beachbum, it's the King Harry Ferry at the top of Carrick Roads between Falmouth and Truro, cuts miles off the trip to the Roseland Peninsula. The roads are fairly quiet this time off year, just have to make the most of it because they will be full of lost holiday makers before very long.
Andy111, those photos are uploaded to the SELOC gallery, I also use FOTOPIC but seem to have less predictable results linking to these forums.
My roof has been off loads of times already this year, but yesterday was the first dedicated blat roof off this year, mostly it's just off too and from work.

Looks like you had a really good day turnamere but hate to say that I had mine off early Jan. Parked up in the centre of Launceston without the roof and got the sort of looks I'd expect if I'd landed in a silver spaceship.
BTW did you get the wheels done locally - I was thinking of getting mine refinished in Navy to match the roof and leather.

I never drive the elise with the roof on. At 6'3" and 15 stone I find it a pain in the arris to get in with it so it lives in the garage roof off and comes out to play on dry days. I realised the other week I have no idea where I had put the roof. took me half an hour to find the bloody thing.
Out in the lotus yesterday murdering the A32 and A272. loads of nice stuff out to play with as well

I like the roof on...so Elise with a good hardtop or even better(for me) an Exige
less windnoises, better regidity, better aitflow, looks much better...me, I like it that way but I also can understand some of you, when you buy a Elise you buy a targa/cabrio that means when you buy such type a car...you buy it for a reason? but not many do that almost the whole year, only diehards? hm...where does that leave me

Whats a roof 
Seriously, I never have the roof on, unless it is already raining, or the roof is already wet.
Neither Snow or Cold count as reasons to have the roof on
hear hear
I remember you and me meeting on the A338 coming into Bmth for a BoLOCs meet, early one Sunday morning, roof off, wrapped up warm and -4C. Did get some strange looks from people.
Beachbum is mad. You have to picture this, a ski coat with a huge colar, a scarf and a big fleecy and wooly hat. The gap between the hat, coat and scarf is jst enough to get some glasses in and the gap for him to see out of is about 2mm. He actually looks like Jim Henson created him.
The roof is off the car the windows are as high as possible and the heating is warming what is left of his feet.
My roof is on and it is staying of for another month. I will think about it then. I will do a "pugsawtawny phil" impression and if there is a shadow, the roof stays on for another month.
