Convertibles. Roof down or up?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Hello awesome fabbers..
Hope your all safe and sane..
Recently during my travel to work (community social care) I have passed a lot of convertible cars on the road with their roof down. I myself have a convertible mini and long to put the roof down but have been unsure during this time for 2 reasons: transmission of virus and public perception.
What are your thoughts on this?
Is it ok to have the roof down? Do you see someone do this and think negatively about them? If your on country roads and no one in sight is it still ok?

There and to the left a bit |
Isn't the point of having a convertible to put the roof down when the weather allows it?
And unless you're doing some extreme tailgating I don't think social distancing rules would be broken by it  |

"Hmmm....a straight man that drives a convertible mini?! 
I've never been so confused
I’ve seen guys in Audi TT before , they claimed to be straight too "
With or without a roof though? |

I think it had a roof but it’s still unforgivable, unless they’re a hairdresser or something and camp / straight I suppose |

"It might be an unpopular opinion but I think convertibles look crap  "
Never owned a convertible don’t get enough decent weather in UK to justify one. And agree they don’t look great when the soft top is on |

Down, down, down I’m a key worker and have a convertible so enjoy the weather on my way back home when I can. Honestly, don’t care what people think , everyone will have an opinion either way. |

I think it should be illegal to drive a convertible in nice weather with the roof up...
I dont even understand how anyone could even worry about catching the virus with the roof down |

Absolutely! Anyone driving hood up should have their car seized and their driving license shredded!
I’m shielding but had to take the cat to the vet on Monday for an emergency appointment. Had the top down both on the way there in the morning and when I collected him later that afternoon |

Top down every time! My hair's already awful from wearing a theatre scrub cap and the blast of the breeze makes me feel more refreshed than a shower. I don't think it's likely to pass on the virus... |

I'll respect your bonnet. Probably best you don't drive through the Grange with the roof down. I don't want us to get gobbed at. |

I had one of those convertible Tigra’s when they first came out. Only a handful of times I ever had the roof down cos I felt like a knob. Would only be at the request of my passenger. |

Miss not having a convertible. Have had five or six in the past, love em. So long as it wasn’t raining or snowing, I generally had the top down. If it’s cold out, that’s what the heater is for! So long as you have a good windstopper behind you, the wind just goes right over the top. And the rain if you get caught in a shower... |

If it's not raining the roof is down, it's no worse than walking to the shops. |

Had mine down many times the last few weeks , including today !!!! When it bloody rained it was parked out in the drive !!! Didn't realised it had rained to start with ,,,
And as for the issue with the virus ATM , your abiding by the two metre rule , if you have your windows open it's just the same , having your heating on or a cold air on I'm not using the internal switch for recirculating just the same really , well that's my thoughts ,,, just don't forget to put the roof up if it rains  |

Porches and BMW'S look like you are trying to be cool and if you have to try you have failed.

If you have a convertible, you bought it for that reason. You should drive with the top down at every opportunity.
More convertibles are sold in the UK than any other country in Europe. We are a nation of optimists |

Nothing in the government guidelines against driving a convertible with its roof down! If you're driving legitimately for one of the permitted reasons and you want to put the roof down then of course do it!
I have a BMW convertible and I love it. I've had the roof down a few times this year when I've been going for food shopping.
Nothing like getting her top down and getting inside her on a sunny afternoon
To all the haters: Yes we live in the UK so have to accept the limited time us convertible owners get our roofs down but on the days we can...you can't
And no, no flies in the mouth, there's a windscreen to catch those |

Love the Escort Cosworth.
The Figaro with a bike engine would be an ideal city car, it would be about accelerating into those gaps, not top speed. |

Sunny weekends like today were made for driving with the roof down. A welcome dose of pleasure during what is currently such a joyless time
Trying to look cool but failed ? Nah expensive flashy sports cars are cool and you know it. Anyone that says otherwise is either jealous or devoid of fun in their life (or perhaps both) |

Rear wheel drive as 90% are, still naff on icy roads.

The only working hardtop in my fleet is the transit. Current daily is a Eunos mk2. If it ain't rainin' the roof is off.
Nope, I'm not a hairdresser, not even slightly effeminate. I've been rained on, snowed on and half frozen but still top down. Humans are waterproof, they dry out eventually.
People can think what they want, as long as it stays a thought it won't bother me.
If you think its windy in a convertible try a 7 style sports body with the doors off as well.. Hardcore topless. Ruthless roofless. |

Won't own another FWD car ever, last one was a proper mini back in the 90's. Only been stuck once in 40 years and that was entirely down to being 'beached' on top of a snowdrift with all four wheels off the ground, my error, not the cars. |

I used to have an MGB Roadster
I had to get rid of it
The drafts caused by open top driving brought on / contributed to a facial palsy
If you have a soft top, keep your ears and the sides of your face covered
I now take the middle aged option, a panaromic roof |

Way back in 1959 at the tender age of 19 I bought for the princely sum of £45 a pre war Morgan (4 wheel version), sadly the car came without a hood but did have a tonneau cover.
I drove that car daily for ten months without a hood before it finally expired.
Happy days. |

I’m not a massive fan of convertible roofs but I saw an e46 m3 yesterday in black it looked absolutely stunning with the roof down for me the best looking car BMW have made now they look hideous with that awful chintzy front end |

When I got the car, Mum said 'oooh, you need to be careful with that roof'
I said 'it's OK Mum, it's enforced glass, it's quite safe'
She said 'no, I don't mean like that, I mean if it's sunny, you might burn your bald head'  |

'Middle age option'? No such thing! But I have been looking at red 2 door Range Rover Evoques with pan roofs which I quite like. |

"By the time I could afford one I was too old to look good in 1"
Turning 70 I decided to rekindle my youth and invested in a Mazda MX5,it being the nearest roadster to the quintessential British sports cars of the 60s.
I had 8 years of real fun with this little car an only sold it because my Arthritis prevented me from getting in and out of it. |

I have a convertible as a weekend car. Some like driving with the top down in all weathers & quite frankly, if they enjoy that, as far as I'm concerned its fine. I generally go for anything above 20c. Contrary to some views, the joys of driving a convertible are not restricted to driving with the roof down. Oh & from a covid perspective there is no problem. |
