Not being able to put your roof down .....because you bought the coupe

Beautiful afternoon here in Bristol & Bath.... Out for lunch with the Mrs, bit of a blast in the E86, lovely!

Lots of convertibles pottering about, roofs down, in the sun.

Opening the widows fully’s just not quite the same

Already knew what this post would be about before I clicked on it

I guess they could gaffer tape a 12 Volt hairdryer to their dash to try and emulate being as cool as us E85 rockstars?

Mmmm well I’m not an E85 rockstar, but I do love the way my E86 looks.... from the outside

A few years ago I bought a Cayman because I loved the shape. It didn’t take me long to realise my mistake. For me the E89 offers a decent compromise.

This is one of the many car-based conclusions I have reached too. The Boxster doesn't do it for me, but the Cayman is a lovely shape...only missing the drop top! E89 fills that hole quite admirably methinks.

It also adds the security of a hardtop. Some years ago when I owned an MGB some rogue slashed the hood to steal the contents of the car. What was particularly annoying was that there was next to nothing left in the car.

Any E86 owners going to give me a virtual slap and bring me to my senses

True-Blue, I have got an E89 and today being my day off work I have been enjoying the sunshine but to be honest I wished I had looked into having a coupe!!!!!

I may be biased but why not have the best of both worlds a roadie for sunny days & stick on the hard top for rainy ones 2 cars in one happy days

No, my E30 convertible out-cools an E85 all day long
