    Convertible cars?

    Are they only for
    - women
    - posers
    - men in their midlife crisis?

    Or can semi-wealthy contractors carry it off?

    Should I get one to appease the Mrs, at a cost of £25k for a decent 3-series convertible?

    Will it help me to look cool and more attractive to the ladies?

    So many questions, so little time.

    I've got a 2-seater convertible and do I look gay?

      I got one a few years back and although I agree there is a bit of a stigma attached to them, everytime I put the top and my foot down, I smile and thats priceless.

        ex-Mrs HAB pestered me to buy one, but I kept saying no. She shut up after she parked her car under a palm tree and a coconut fell on it and put a massive dent in the bonet (hood as the septic repairman called it). We got a jeep on the cheep after than and she was far more happy.
        How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

          You're all gay because you give a tulipe what other people think, rather than having fun. Either that or you're insecure about something. Don't know what.

            If you want one, get one. Simples.

            Feck everyone elses opinion.

                I got one as a courtesy car a few months ago and felt an arse driving it. I'm a 27 year old male so I guess I must have fallen into the posers category.

                  I've had convertibles for years. The missus has one as well. Wouldn't get a Beemer though (personal preference).

                    I have to admit when I first had my S2000 I felt a bit embaressed to be seen driving with the roof down (especially as it was December). But I got over it.
                    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.
