Roof up motoring

[Davel]

Is it just me that hates driving the car with the roof up?

Love it with the roof down or with half the tonneau in place, although it flaps like mad.

There is a surprising amount of space with the roof up but it feels like you're driving in a tent with windows.

Put the roof up for the first time yesterday with no problem, but trying to put it back down and fold it correctly was a bit of a nightmare.

As soon as I completed it, the rain started again.

Where's this bloody heatwave?

I'm not surprised if the tonneau cover is on

I use my car quite a lot with the roof on - it was my only car for 18 months. I have a 4 seater so it probably isnt as claustraphobic as the 2 seater but I would guess quite a bit more flappy, I find even with the roof up I can see out better than in my wifes Jeep.

One of the benefits of the older style (completely separate from the car) hoods is that it stashes away quite easily - putting it on is an art on a windy day though!

It is much more noisy and only slightly drier with the roof up...
