Surely not just for sunny days.......

.... over here in the UK I see many drivers of convertibles with the their roofs up even when it's sunny..... why do people buy convertibles if they're not going to take every opportunity to get it down...? Posers perhaps......waiting for just the right temp.?

I for one, subscribe to the theory that if it's dry...get the roof off.

I see plenty of users on here mentioning "the end of season" time of year.

How often do you guys and girls go topless and what temperature is your limit..?

Admittedly she's not my DD but I do try to drive her at least twice a week including at least one day a week to work on lovely, quiet, twisty, Shropshire B-roads.

Last year, before I consulted the user manual, I had the roof off at minus 2C...won't do it again due to the risk of damage to the roof mechanism but that's the only reason... after all, the heaters in these cars are exceptional and with the deflector and windows up, it's not a buffeting cockpit.

Just curious is all.......hats and scarves were invented for a reason.

Happy topless motoring

Si.
