I haven't got an S yet but had the roof off the VX220 today first time in 4 months and you can't beat roof off driving, still wasn't warm though especially with the joke of a heater in the VX

I will get around to taking mine off soon, I've had the lid on since it was painted last summer but it's now time for the spring / summer look.

I never got mine on this year but we went for a drive today, roof down (for as long as my girlfriend allowed). Probably the first time i've properly vtec'd this year! Sounds awesome, looking forward to more.

I liked them better when dirty! Somehow shiny black wheels always make the tyres look nasty

The other benefit of DS2500 pads and a lazy wash routine means they won't be clean for long ha ha. I just like to give them a good coat of polish on top of a good clean to stop the brake dust from spoiling the powdercoat.

I know exactly what you mean though, the Tyres only get treated once, when they first go on or for shows.

I used to be like you, nice n cosy in winter in my old car, loving the contrast top on top off, but you know what, I grew a pair and haven't looked back since.

6 degrees oooow get you, I shit 6 degrees

Real men go topless sub-zero

:edit: maybe there is something in the S being a hairdressers car after all

The sole reason for the HT during the winter is due to the large amount of overhanging trees that like to drop branches in the winter - i'd rather bounce them off the HT than have them punch holes in frozen fabric

Mine came off about a week ago. Top down all the time from now on. Well, apart from last Saturday because it was slashing it down.
