My hardtop has been taken off!!!!!

[Hollywood Wheels]

With the weather getting a bit fairer, the hardtop has now come off. Yes I know this is the opposite to most people, but the sun mullers me and I get burnt, so I wait for the winter and go topless everywhere, the woolly hat and motocross gloves are my friends. My hearing is already better.........the cabin is a lot quieter. Will hopefully be using the car a bit more now too, bring on the cold weather!!!!!

Anyone else a freak like me?

Strewth, I use 50-factor sun block on sunny days due to red hair syndrome, but even I have had the hard top off all summer!

Hardtop on, with both windows down...............trust me, it's the way to go in the summer! I'm such a tart though, the car looks sooooooo much better with hardtop on.....

You selfish bastard. Just as we look like we're getting an Indian Summer, you've bloody gone and cursed it haven't you?

Nah, car looks better topless (easier to get in and out of, don't bang my knee on the rail then). Driving at night in the county with the top down is pretty pleasant.

Remember we had a really sunny April and then it rained solidly for a couple of weeks (it did in Norfolk anyway)? Guess when I took the hard-top off . It was all my fault, sorry!

Factor 50 works for me Seems to get all over the door trim though!

i love the look of my elise with the hardtop on........ BUT......... factor 40, roof off, windows down for me.

each to their own

I dont have a hardtop, and soft top down over recent weeks have led to a rather red face.

I have a tinge of ginge also according to the missus anyway ;o)

just get a wet suit and a welders helmet for summer, far more skin friendly than factor 50 whale blubber.

or just wear long sleives and a helmet - at least people can then laugh at the helmer rather than your ginger hair p.s. only kidding

Personally I go with the continentals - I don't understand the attraction of soft tops, you get burnt to a crisp and the sun is permanently in your eyes. Give me aircon and a roof any day.
