It's not a problem if the car is upside down when you open the roof. Or in Australia.

Re: Top down after rain?
I have experience of opening the driver's door when my car was upside down. That led to the roof immediately collapsing into the car. I wonder if opening the roof in such circumstances would lead to the doors collapsing?Squiddie wrote:It's not a problem if the car is upside down when you open the roof. Or in Australia.
I also have experience of being in Australia and I can confirm that I had no problems with any Z4s. However, I did have a wet boot on more than one occasion.

Well there you go. That genuinely did happen when I lived up in the Pentlands when I had my E88 about 6 years ago. I did refrain from having the top down on that drive but did have the heated seats onBing wrote:And there was me thinking exactly that, but I decided to keep it clean for once out of politenessAngie4m wrote:

Thankfully not. Just a bit mad sometimes. When I get the urge to do something it's very hard for me to resist.Nictrix wrote: Your not related to Noel Edmonds are you?
