    You wanted to take that fit bird from accounts but she made some excuse about hair washing. Ah well
    Well, when I had my TT if it wasn't raining, the roof was down*. As it will be when I get the Caterham (and the Elise)

      Same for me.

      If it not raining the heated seats are on and the roof is down. Except at night, seems a bit silly at night.

        On a cloudless or moonlit night driving top down in the countryside is just brilliant.

            Thanks for the offer, but I don't want a tractor engine.

            I want a V8 drop top.

                Thanks again, still don't want an A5.

                It's the RS4 or SL 55 AMG.

                  I've just gone SL55 ... had a M3 Conv before which is similar to the RS4 ... if you don't need the rear seats SL55 all the way...

                    Any problems with a leaking boot and supercharger belts?

                    How does the performance feel compared to the M3 (I assume you had the V8 M3)?

                      Dim is a typical chav: his motor is worth more than his house.
