Likewise, and if I'm out in it, and it the roof id DOWN, as long as the rain isn't torrential, that said once you are doing 40mph none of it comes in. Got some strange looks on the M62 earlier today though as it was bucketing down, and I was just cruising along at; erm 70'ish with the roof down.

Err, I want to know how you managed to do 70 on the M62.......isn't the average speed about 15 mph :rofl:
It has it's moments lol.

Probably a good thing as there is absolutely no room for it in my house!
Nothing like the top down, cold fresh night air, and an empty M40 at 2am on the way back home after visiting the relatives up north :)

I will make the swap to my Sapphire Black hard top with my black style 32 alloys to give a totally new look to the Zed at the end of October. It's quite exciting :)
Will I have a pang of regret on those crisp clear winter days? - well yes, but I will have the spring to look forward to :driving:

That totally changes the look of the car........and looks awesome :)
