I drive a Cooper Convertible to comute to work. Love driving the car.
The roads were wet this morning (rained last night) Sun was shining so decided to drive with the roof down. I saw 10 Convertibles(2 Saabs, 2 ford Ka's,3 Mercs, 1 Porche, 1 Renault Megane,1 volvo)this morning and NON HAD THE ROOF DOWN.

. Got a few frowns from a few driver(even one from a mini driver-pathetic

).

Am I Nuts? Should I conform to the Norm?

How I see it is, I bought the car for my pleasure,and no one elses. If I want to drive with the roof down, its for my benefit(im not a poser). Paid the extra for an open top so I use it and the most important thing is I love the thrill of open top driving,the RUSH Im sure you all know what I mean. So long as I wrapped up and got my wooley hat on and its dry it doesnt matter(had Bells Paulsy last year,face was paralysed/sever headaches,better now but the cold still efect my head- Thats why I wear a hat all the time outdoors/in car(All at Bruntingthorpe on 22/01/05 would have seen I didn't take my hat off all day-(Me and the Mrs were the only one's with the Cooper Convertible,remember?)

2 days ago, same thing,this time in the afternoon, Sun shining and everyone had there roof's up EXCEPT another MINI Convertible driver

Am I Nuts? Should I be bothered?

Does anyone else have there roof down as soon as the Sun comes out whatever the temperature??
