I know the sun was out today, but it was slightly chilly with my car window open.

To my surprise there was people hooning past me on the motorway at 80+ with the tops down on there cars.

Must say i was amused at the bloke in a big thick coat + scarf

Just because a bunch of mid life crisis people decides to drive topless does not mean its summer already..

Unhappy

here's me thinking at the weeekend, "I'm gonna miss the cabby this year".
All the windows are down in the scoob already but it doesn't cut the mustard like my old pug

still get similar stares from people though, so that helps make up for it

If you have a convertible then it has to be done.

It definately made me want another one !

The Pug had a air temp display, I could manage the roof being down at about 10 degrees for Motorway cruising.
and no less that about 8 degrees for town driving, ears started to get frostbite below that. LOl

I had to put my windscreen reflector blind thingy up yesterday. Then again, I do live in the sunniest place in Britain!

As an ex-ragtop driver, the rule is when it's not raining hard, the roof is down.

Nice and warm if your in the sun, nice cool chill if you have the windows down. Not summer but a lot better than it has been. Is amazing how much happier people seem when the sun is out and everyone is out and about. No wonder Aussies smnile 24*7.
