Looks Like the Roof Can Stay in the Boot

[turnamere]

... at least until this time next week

Weather man says high pressure for a week or so so I'll be relying on my trusty shower cape for the next week to alow a quick get away in the morning and enjoy plenty of al-fresco

Maybe its because Gooby is on holiday, or maybe Mrs Triple S has got her P&J back.

I'm sure that TIPPER will have the doll and pins to hand if the weather takes a turn for the worse

I'm at North Weald tomorrow, just went to the garage and took the roof off all set for the morning, so that's the kiss of death!

Looks like you picked a great day

I will go on my first trip with the roof off tomorrow

[TIPPER]

Been working around the Roseland Pensinsula (Cornwall) for past couple of days. Roof of all day today and as I'm sure turnamere will agree, some great roads. Saw two nice Fezzas, a 360 with roof and a 360 spyder (roof off) also a yellow VX220 (roof on ). One of the Fezzas followed me on the way home for about 15 miles. Kept waiting for him to roar past but I think he knew I'd get him in the twisties .

I would have waved if I'd spotted you but it's difficult to spot an Elise from the air, spent a fair amount of time over the Roseland today.

When they aren't full of holiday makers they are; the run from St Mawes out to the Truro/StAustel road is great. But, judging by the carparks at Heligan and Caerhays today I'm guessing that there is a load of Half Term Traffic down here - I was forced to go the back way home tonight.

looks like it will have to stay on today. A lot of clouds and looks like it's going to rain any minute now

And I was just about to go for a quick 'first time roof off' drive

[ajk]

Good grief, get the roof off, it's not like it takes a long time to put it back on is it?
Mine's always off if it's not raining, and quite often if it is

[steff]

My roof's off but its stuck in the garage as the clutch has decided to go on strike.

Fortunately the clouds disappeared again and the sun is shining. I went out for a drive

Initially the plan was to go for a small cruise around the area,but ended up going on a 100 mile trip for 2.5 hours


I love it. Can't wait to get out again

Good Grief, Man. Thats and average of just 40 MPH!!

More seriously, glad you enjoyed it. The only problem with roof down driving (I was thinking to myself today whilst waiting for some lights to go green) is that one's ....er....more interesting, shall we say, personal habits are on show for all the world to see

I havent seen a cloud in over a week.

I have beaten the hex of triple s

Sounds like your'e having a good time.
Should have my car back by the time you return

[Turnamere]

Well, it had to break sooner or later, driving home from Silverstone yesterday evening, just past the 'Welcome to Cornwall' signs and the rain started. Received plenty of bemused looks as we cruised along with roof off, wipers and lights on with the slipstream taking the rain over the top......

Until we hit the roadworks at Goss Moor where the driver in front insisted on slowing/stopping at every deviation (to the Elise driver they are challenging chicanes), at which point we started to get wet. Finally admitted defeat and pulled over to put the roof on only to remember that the cross bars were in the boot with all the kit from the weekend. Doh

No
They rang me on Friday ( the day they told me I would have it back) to tell me they have now decided to send it to get the cylinder head checked for cracks. They said I might have it back for Wednesday ( thats only if there is nothing wrong with it)

I cried ( yes on the phone to the dealer) I was just so disapointed as I am missing it like mad.

For the first week or so ( while driving the granny wagon) I found myself looking longingly at other convertibles.

Then a week or so later I noticed that I was looking at any sporty car.

Its got soooooooo bad now I am looking longingly at M3's

I Need My Baby Back - cos I'm going
