Happy (topless) Easter Weekend convertible drivers

I won't be in mine until at least Sunday as I'm out with the family but looks like a great weekend to get those tops down . Anyone planning to be out in their convertible ALL weekend? (apart from sleeping hours)

Unfortunately no, we've got gardening stuff to do, but I'm sure I'll sneak in a few topless drives over the weekend

I wonder if it's too early to take the wooly hats, gloves and scarves out of the car and swap them for sunhats?

Must get some hats. Actually I already have a new look for the summer.

I was out friday and yesterday, and I've spent this afternoon cleaning my car for the 1st time. I definately think I've made the right decision buying a convertible it's great being out in the fresh air.

I do need to sort out some sun lotion though as my face has gone a little red

I went out for a bit of a drive this afternoon. It was a lot cloudier today but the roof was still down

Photo was taken in the derbyshire dales. Only on my phone camera as my digi cam has died

We were out at the weekend it mine, and it's the first time not having the heated seats on and the heater on full blast (only had it a month, and hardly had the roof up at all), which pleased my other half no end.

Surprised how much sun we got hit with though. On a drive to Nottingham, the sun was coming in the top of my sunglasses so had to stop to buy some hats, though they look a bit daft. I wonder what the best hats for the MCSC are ?

Only downside was that as our friends came out to admire the car, we noticed the n/s side indicator was hanging out of the 'S' badge on it's wire with some small bit of plastic snapped off . Since I'd washed it earlier that day and didn't notice it, it must have been the drive down when it happened. Wonder if they have to do a warranty claim for an indicator? Will find tonight if they're still open as I head to Manchester.
