Been using the MR as the daily for a full week now. 8) Need the sun to go in soon, so I can get back to my Mazda6, before the battery goes flat. :lol:

Even that wasn't enough today - Did a trip to Bradford 1pm, showed 32-33 degrees all the way there on the motorway, roof went up and aircon on max all the way back! I don't like the heat....

Getting in the car at 5.30/6am and being able to put the roof down is brilliant. And yes, that engine and exhaust with the roof down is glorious - aurally orgasmic surround sound :driving: :evil:
