It's been quite warm the last few days, my roof has been down most of the time. Still get funny looks though!

Giving my Mk1 a damned good sort out at the moment, but when it's done, it'll be top down, heat up heaven!

I once likened it to eating rice pudding with ice cream in - cold and hot at the same time biggrin

I had a good drive at lunchtime today. Nicest weather we've had around here in ages.

Brilliant fun!

Hard top... hard top? ah yes, I remember now - hard top! It's one of those horrible plastic things that fit over the convertible hood to make sure you can't drop the top whenever you want to wink

It's a fair point but I do use mine as a daily driver so a hardtop does have its uses....

Had the roof off during the snow we had in January.. Can't beat some freezing morning roof off blasts.
