I think the coldest I've had it is about 13, and that was pushing it.

I know what you are like wanda, as long as you can still see out the windscreen, roof down lol

Was 2C and had a coat, hat and scarf on but with the climate control right up it was very pleasent. I don't have a garage and don't think you should lower the roof if it has frost on it as it can't be good for the seals. I take it Wanda that you must garage the car to operqate the roof at below frezzing conditions?

We need to ask the government to spread awareness of fellow cc drivers to acknowledge each other.

If it's not raining, roof is down! Convertibles should be driven roof down, only putting it up when it rains! I've been out in 2 deg with coat and hat and heater on full-no problem.

-9 Roof off!

Hey! tough guy! A! A!

Well not really, truth be known I bought some timber from BnQ and it would not fit in the car :(

Only way to get it home was drop the roof, Ye Gods it was cold, even with AC on 27, NEVER AGAIN!

I was even questioned about some kind of apendage sticking out of my head by some young chap at a crossing, another shouted Tanker? I know it is a rather big car but no where near the size of a tanker, he must have been confused :mrgreen:
