Haha I've had mine open at over 140mph on the autobahn

As said it says do not open over 80 and not you can't have it open above 80

Haha, I have mine open all the time regardless of the weather!

Whenever I go out with the misses she says 'my car or yours?' I say 'mine.' She'll reply 'I'll get me scarf' lol!

Saw quite a few nice UK registered Imprezas at the 'ring this weekend, and loads of foreign plated ones too.

It was my first time driving round the track so I was doing lots of indicating and pulling over to let people overtake!

Here's me, there's some more pics from the weekend on that highspeedfotos.de site if anyone else from SN was there.

Point taken about the roof scoop I had mine open to 120 and it must have bent the clamp bit and had wind noise after that but a quick tweak made it right again.

How was it on track this weekend? It was mentally busy around the place which is why I went down in the BMW to watch only but looked kind of manic on track with a lot of different speed machines around.

You should come back this weekend and enjoy the full extent of the VLN circuit (something I've never done so hoping for some sunshine).
