Lovely Gran Cabrio anyone?

Never understand when the sun is blaring and you see people in their convertibles with the roof up. Why bloody bothering getting one.

Too hot, going on a long journey, rough place of town, going on a short journey, roof broken, just back from fake tan shop?

 

[Andyk]

Drive quicker, keep away from rough areas....still makes no sense buying one if you don't take the roof down at every opportunity. I used to have the roof off on my Elise on cool crisp winter mornings.....heater on it was intoxicating.

Here's one Andy - following a slow moving tractor, pulling umteen gazillion hay bales, that were shedding everywhere. The joys of the French countryside

 

[Andyk]

You have a point on that one.....the joys of modern convertible roofs. Up in 20 seconds and down again.

Best thing about owning a convertible is driving it at night with the roof down.

Sounds odd, but you should definitely try it.

 

[Andyk]

Yep agree Mark...Great experience.

Surely, that's the 2nd best thing - ref. David Soul, Top Gear

I do still maintain though a man of a certain age looks a cock ins Convertable no matter what make it is. That's anyone over 50 so include myself in that.

Sometimes it’s actually too hot to have the roof off. I guess that’s why we buy so many more in the UK than our friends in mediterranean countries.......

 

[Andyk]

Yep another good point made RWC13.....

 

[CatmanV2]

I actually don't get convertibles, but each to their own

I don't need a convertible to look like a cock!

 

[Andyk]

Me neither.....

 

[mjheathcote]

Some of the best drives in my Stag have been at night, in the winter, with the roof down!

 

[Rwc13]

Or a bright cold February morning about 6am when there’s nobody else on the road

Sounds like a Meatloaf lyric.

Bright; February and 6am.....
