The noise was phenominal and certainly makes you smile. You do see people looking at you as if to say "lookat that tw@t with the top down" it's just jealousy that their corsa can't get above 50mph!

    No it's not... I really do think "look at that tw@t with the top down". Jealousy doesn't come into it, pity maybe?

    I picked up a pre reg 09 3 series convertible which was fully loaded and I mean fully loaded. Only had 150 miles on the clock. It was 10k less than the official BMW retail price.

    I love it, its great and you can drive it any weather. TBH there's only been a few days when I havent been able to get the top down.

    I love topless motoring!

I was doing 95 when they went past; a couple in their 50s or 60s with grins like a couple of teenagers.

    Whether I'd give up the air conditioning and being able to hear the CD for flies in my hair ... I don't know.
    Yep. Sorry about that Richard.

    If I could get my hubby's car out of the garage - I would go for a classic MG Roadster

    Having the top down on a fine sunny day, out in the country, brilliant.

    A bugger to reverse, not much power uphill, but good fun, and looks great.

    You could do Rommel impressions as well.
    A friend of mine had one of them. With the roof open the aerodynamics ensured that every passing insect would hit you in the face.

    Oh, and the entire back seat came out so you could use it for picnics.
