Maybe we just have to accept we are so far ahead of the curve we have come back round in to the cock end of the scale

Does that mean I'm immune then at 47?

Yep, you will not effect the cock meter and will probably look hot and handsome.

I will say I have seen a black Vanquish Volante on the motorway for the last two days with the roof down. I really don't mind looking a cock.....

As long as you're not feeling one, Andy.

Mind you, whatever floats your boat. But Mrs Andy may have a word or two to say about it.

Good thread eh ;)
Even driving a new Pagani Huayra Spider I would still look like complete knob head!

Finally got the brake lines on the Spyder and went for a test. Top down, Ray-Bans, Trumpian comb-over flapping in the breeze, I looked like John Holmes best friend, but it was GREAT!...

LOL.....hot and handsome.....never been called that before. Shame you live so far away

I'll make the most of the 2.5 years then!

I never like a full convertible as always feel a but exposed and vulnerable.

The Chimaera is ideal as can be convertible or targa at the flick of my arms, hands and legs!

I prefer a targa as gives half the open top experience, I don't feel so weird and generally the structural ridgidity of the car must be better

As I approach 50 have learnt that I don’t care about what other people think, where I probably would at half that age. Generally these people base their opinions on stereotypes and these are the people with the problem.

Took a bright red Brera Spider home this weekend for detailing plus to shake down, cycle and bleed the roof.

It’s a car worth little but on a sunny evening, convertible cars give a very unique feeling. It’s actually very descent with virtually no scuttle shake.

You can't beat a Boxster S.
Rear wheel drive.
Mid engine.

With sports cats and exhaust sounds the mutts nutts.
I do agree and have had one before. They are still a tiny bit Germanic for me though. Great car....and I would have another. Special car.....mmmm
