"Love my mx5 ! I have the roof down in the winter !!"
Bang the heating up on full and it's a lovely cosy little car even when it's only a few degrees above freezing . I can't express how happy I am that hubby suggested buying one for me. |

I tested the f type last weekend and whilst the car was great, I preferred it with the roof up.
I've had convertibles before and think for the additional cost we don't get enough use out of them due to the uk climate

Our mx5 was my incentive to pass my driving test. When I tried to learn 20 years ago I failed my test and then quit. Having that gorgeous little car sat on the drive was my motivation for not giving up this time. I passed my test on Thursday at the 3rd attempt and am loving driving her
Incidentally, when my father in law had a drive in her a few weeks ago he likened it to driving a go cart. Low to the ground, turns on a sixpence and heaps of fun to drive |

Yeah I was skeptical when hubby said he wanted a little convertible. I've never driven one before and I'm not much of a petrol head. But I love our MX5. So much fun to drive |

I used to say exactly the same thing.
I bought my vw eos convertible couple of years ago
Any opportunity to take it off and I'm there
And if it getz a lil chilly
Thats what the heated seat are for lol
But with the roof down
Wind delflector up
You dont feel a thing
Its like seeing women carryin dogs in a bag or a pram i saw once...
Its a dog
Not a fashion statement
Actually been a fantasys of mine to fuck someone with the roof down
Over backseat and bout.....
Still remains incomplete to this day

" Why do people buy 4x4 vehicles then never go off road? 
Why do people buy large vehicles that they can't drive or park properly?!"
Makes them feel safer on the road maybe? But agree majority cannot park them properly Does my nut in car parks overlapping adjacent spaces |

I have way to much hair that will blow all over in the wind to drive with the roof down. I will stick to my car with air conditioning on and no hair problems. |

I always wear a cap, then I end up with hat hair! |

a quandary, could you change my mind? |
I've had several convertibles, the roof was down unless below 4degrees as it would damage the skin and mechanisms, or if I was just driving to town and raining, otherwise roof off, drive quickly enough and I didn't get wet. |

I have a funny shaped head so hats look ridiculous on me.  |

I drive a convertible, on really hot days it can sometimes be too hot to have the roof down and it turns into an oven so is more comfortable to have the roof up and air con on.
On cold sunny days it can be nice to have the roof down, wack the heaters up plus heated seat turned on and you're lovely and warm but can still enjoy the fresh air and sound of your zorst |

Yes, lesson learnt very early on when we got ours, wife OK but my bald spots suffered, the sun block is as essential as a spare wheel when your a man at a certain stage of life driving a convertible! |

My Trabant convertible is great - it takes a bit of time angle grinding the roof off then welding it back on again - but it looks so sexy on a sunny day |
