Taking the hard top off this weekend?

[rfn]

As the title, I'm planning on taking the hard top off this weekend - had a few days last couple of weeks where I've wanted to put the roof down and couldn't, so figure it's time.

Am I mad?

Nope , i havent even got a hard top , just warm the hood with the heater before dropping.

Hard top eh? You wuss

Roof down whenever possible, even in the snow. Once your fingers freeze you begin to adopt a new driving position that positions them as close as possible to the heater vents.

So true!

OK so I've got a MK3 so maybe don't qualify as a proper MX5 driver.But had the roof down this afternoon

I actually saw an Audi TT with the roof down in the snow last week, driver and passenger wrapped up in many jackets and hats.

Your all mad. Mad mad people. My hardtops staying on!

(Though that may be because the softtop now leaks and it's the Mrs daily drive...)

I thought thats the point of having a convertible? My roof stays down unless its raining.

That is stunning but it defeats the object!

In nearly twelve months of ownership I have only driven my MX5 with the roof up twice.

One of those was collecting it.

If I can't have the roof down, I don't take the car out. Simple.

But they're so much fun on wet slippery roads!

Gave the car a good wash after work today at my parents and have driven home. Love it .

Indeed. It's the way forward - bit bizarre driving in the dark with the roof down!

When its not raining. I don't like driving the '5 with the top up, it ruins the whole experience for me. This is why I have two cars...

Oh get the roof off you girl!!!!

[DennisTheMenace]

Oi we will have no trouble here ........
