350 miles with the roof off
350 miles with the roof off
Did Buckinghamshire to St Tropez earlier this year, in a day, roof only up on the ferry, then two weeks around Europe , France Italy, switerzand etc and only had to put the roof up at night and when we weren't driving . Fabulous two weeks camping , my Mrs who is Turkish originally and never gets sunburned ! Got very burned on the first days driving .

No, I have my limits - the downpour was biblical, all the other roadsters had pulled over and raised their roofs. His car was soaked inside as was hebuzyg wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2017 1:21 pmAre we to take it then that your roof was also down?Marlon wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2017 9:38 amNumber5 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2017 10:30 pm This was Taz, on his way to Gibraltar in an absolute down pour....
