    Roofs are overrated, unless you are scared that the toupee will blow off in a convertible?

    with the banning of petrol/deisel being brought forward to 9 years from now(a stupid idea) maybe the cost of buying new ones will come down soon. Electrics are just too damn expensive. The benefits to climate is not very high in doing this as far as i can see, although it will help urban pollution.

    Was just making a point. Not many realise such performance is available.

    My sister just got her Porsche Taycan. She's bringing it over on Boxing Day.

    Nah. There's loads of opportunity. I have owned convertibles non stop for 19 years.

    The air flow is so good in them inside these days I drive mine at 11 Deg C no problem and less sometimes. Leccy seats and heating on you can remain very comfortable.

    I don't personally like convertibles and it only takes some nerk with something sharp to ruin your day. I've seen enough patched up soft-tops to know it happens.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Bolt two together, bung a seat on and you've got a mobility buggy.
