I had a kit car and used to do similar.

With sensible hat, jacket and gloves you're fine, even more so if you have a half cover for the car (Tonneau cover) as you bottom half is toasty warm from the heaters.

Awesome. I considered it for the stupidity of it all as I don't care if the interior gets wet (the roof leaks so it does get wet, anyway!).

Snag is... it's too bloody cold out there.

[kambites]

I quite often do that when it's snowing. It's worth it just for the looks you get, if nothing else.

God, the way those people speak on that video make my head hurt! Triumph? MG I think they'll find?
Kudos to him, why not! I saw a bloke driving a Mini 'speedster' type thing with no roof whatsoever around Salisbury in the snow - hard as nails lol

[Emsman]

Perfect.
Did similar for a couple of years in a westy.
Cold, yes, but would do it again in an instant.
Was out today in the mx5 with the roof off. Great fun- would go so far as to say the only time in the last 3 years I have been for a drive simply for the fun of going for a drive

Anyway, the bloke's cheating - he's got a windscreen and wipers.

I was just thinking of this sort of thing on a more modern front.

Audi TT Quattro Roadster models now getting closer to £5k.

Set of winter tyres, roof down, fun ?

I know that area of Croydon well, just up near Purley Way. The guy does sound a plank but that's the way they talk 'innit'.

[LukeBird]

I was out roof down earlier providing amusement to all!

Outraegeous! I say we make him take them off, and he's not allowed to use the car again until he had got rid of them!
How's the '7 treating you in these fine climes?

Now I don't feel so bad driving about with the old Alfas roof down.

Watch this space, PH are starting a new winter campaign very (very) soon

[B'stard Child]

In my old midget one hole with roof down (OK it wasn't a small one) - more than 30 with it up *mist of em right in line withn lap or neck) so only ever used it roof down

[skalra63]

Did anyone else wonder why there were 2 people filming that...one of them being the driver...the other filming the driver filming it.

[DannyVTS]

What about the guy that is still driving his caterham about ..

Had the roof off the Elise on Sunday, great fun. Hat essential.

[wibble cb]

He deserves either a medal , or locking up ! I would never try in that, but I don't mind the cold..... -4 ish I think.

[XJSJohn]

to be fair it is an MGB, if he put the hood up the inside of the car would probably steam up ... then freeze up, so easier just to leave lid down
