I woke up this morning and the sun was shining I had this irresistible urge for some top down so off I went. Absolutely glorious, a 30 mile round trip on the a13* with a massive grin all the way.

I returned home, eyes streaming and frozen ears but what a buzz I've never had another car that made me want to drive just for the hell of it. On the down side, I think my head has shrunk as I nearly lost my S2K cap in the slipstream

I went out for a run on the bike earlier but I only managed 50 minutes before I couldn't feel my hadns anymore

The roads around here were *very* busy

I went out for a good blast on Saturday am and pm, I don't think I'd have gone out twice in day in any other car. Not drove the S much lately, due to work/illness/weather and I'd forgot how great it is.

Had to go to work today but decided to go the long way just to drive the car - had the same problem as others though, traffic every where, people dordling along like tomorrow will do. Twas still nice, top down but would have like a bit more chance to "drive" the car rather than cruise it............

They work fine CC, but you'll be a laughing stock if anyone seems them on an R1/R6 etc...,
plus if its only the odd winter blast it's not really worth it, I just suffer then head home once froze
