It’s 25 degrees here today and not a cloud in the sky - lovely. I often slip into a “grass is greener” mentality and muse on the possibilities of a cab’ instead of my coupe. However my hay fever has not kicked in yet, I’ll relent as soon as it does. Meantime all you cab’ divers, I envy you…

Hope you are all enjoying the fine weather

spare a thought for one unlucky soul who has endured the rain and the cold in his cabriolet, and now finds that he cannot enjoy this one day of summer because his cab is, as of yesterday, in the poorly-shop having a squeak attended to boks

Depends which one, the original pram-alike with the now-opaque plastic window is a bit challanging, but I like the post-2003.

But then either look better than a 996 Cab with the hardtop on
It looks like some kind of weird bubble car

Yes. The hardtop is butt-ugly. Shame - as the softtop looks fine. 996 cabs always seem to have a big arse to me. But so what? They go very well and have a range of practical advantages. I'd have one...if I needed the "occasional" seats.

Been cleaning mine today, then picked the kids up from school - they loved it - plus lots of 'nice car mister' shouts......
My first Cab, and well worth it......
Hardtop stored safely out of reach in the back of the garage.....hideous thing.....
