I've got a 100% record as well - 3 days and the car has not moved off the drive.
Hopefully I will break the duck tomorrow when I go upto Scone  |

four for four today but I did not make it to scone, family things today.
Ron I have put the top down at -2C you just have to warm the car up first to get it supple and take your time to make sure it is not kinking.

You are very brave risking the big crack in these temps.. My car has been standing outside for days now and has never thawed out. Went cycling on Friday - bl**dy cold but didnt risk it today or yesterday, it was -5.5 at 9.00am in Solihull

Cabrio, cold is not a big issue with the heater from the 2.8 and heated seats. the wind deflectoer means that only my left ear gets a littled chilled.
I was through to Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago top down wearing a shirt and tie.

You are either very brave or completely mad!!!. However thanks for the sides you advised me on I have secured a wind deflector and a tonneau cover, thanks again.
Onno.
