Be bloody honest!! I mean I'm a roadster owner, and when I see someone driving around in extremely inclement weather with the roof down I just thing "w@nker" LOL.
But by far the worst situation in which one struggles to remain cool-looking is when you're on a busy A-road with nowhere at all to stop, and the first big splattering spots of that thunderstorm ahead start to fall......![]()

Noise eliminated seems to come from the hole between the outer seat back and the folded hood (British hood, not Yank hood, where you would try to spy if the drain holes are plugged).Adamski said:When really cold I have windows up, otherwise windows always down too![]()
+1. Agree about the noise - windows up, wind deflector in place there's a lot less noise and of course wind![]()
Definitely comes from where the roof is folded down. I guess the covers you can get would reduce it, but bit of a hassle to put in and take out each time you move the roof.

Although it helps if the rest of the traffic doesnt slow down... I remember driving a long distance starting on a really nice day, and at my destination massive black clouds rolled over. The inevitable downpour was so hard that the motorway traffic dropped to 40mph. Not nearly enough to stay dry.
Every sodding bridge had at least one or two motorbikes huddling for shelter underneath as well.

I've just moved from a Z3, and I would have have stopped and put the roof up. But the combination of less intrusion in to the cabin from the wind, better heater and better heated seats meant I was toasty warm last night.
Just needed a beanie to keep my left ear warm! It's always the left one which gets cold![]()
I have to agree with you here... I think anyone with the roof down when it's cold just looks like a right idiot and is just trying to show off. :roll:lacroupade said:Boogle said:Adamski said:When really cold I have windows up, otherwise windows always down too

This really does work, but you need to be sure you won't need to slow or stop anywhere along the way. The other problem is the wipers shove shots of water around the A pillar and onto your arm or armrest. What worries me is getting water into the window switch electrics. Basically can't use the wipers with the roof down in the rain.Glaikit said:Just drive faster so the rain doesn't have time to land in your cockpit:wink:
