    I get my convertible kicks by going topless abroad. Sod all sunshine around here to warrant a soft top motor.

    A neighbour has a Ka convertible, and apart from , I've never seen her put the roof down yet.

    At least in the Elise I just wrapped up warm, let the heated air waft over me, and stuck two fingers up to the crap weather. The driving was enough to put a grin on my face.
    Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

        All cars with a bit of power are dangerous in the wrong hands. Most cars flatter the poor driver i.e. FWD dialed in under steer, low power
        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

          That's what a bimbo hairdresser once said to me as she waved the keys to her beetle convertible in my face. Not a nice crowd you've lumped yourself with, though there might be some nice tits amongst you.

          True. So bland, I could leave it unlocked with a sign on it saying "car thieves are useless winkers" and it'd still be there in the morning. Shame I'd be too embarrased to drive it to work, and take the bus instead.

            A sports car has too be both, and the VX220 does't look good in any colour.

                I suppose if you measure a car by how good it is at beating the local chavs away from the lights, then yes I agree completely: don't buy an S2000.

                I might well get an Elise sooner or later. It's really the only other car that appeals, and hopefully now they have real engines it might be okay. The Rover ones I test drove last time around were awful.

                Still ridiculously overpriced though.
                Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                  I span my last roadster off the road and into a lamp-post..... Still not fixed the lamp-post four years later!

                      I think that is likely to make you are a far better parent.
