Default Hardtop - That time of year again?

Reading UF's post got me thinking, is it really time for the hardtop to go on yet?

Last year it was nice all the way up to mid October, and I can recall having many roof down driving
occasions up to that point. I even got sunburn at last years Mimms meet mid oct but it did get very
cold and wet towards the end of the month.

I'm thinking of putting it on or perhaps leaving it off till late Oct....what do you guys reckon?

The guys will vote to sell it, the girls (posing as guys) will vote to put it on.

For me, it's as much about changing the look of the car as it is about protecting the soft top / being a massive gayer Plus i'm sick of it taking up room in the house

x2

hardtops are nice, even though I have no problem admitting I like having a sunny winter day with the roof down, it's the rest of the time that it's just nicer to have the hardtop on.

Don't really understand all the fuss

It is nicer than having the soft top up and does look better but as UF says, space was a problem and it removed my ability to choose if it was up or down every day.

I've put mine on to keep all the leaves and shite falling in the gaps (does my head in fishing leaves out) - but will take it off when I fancy a blast (not my daily dvr).

Still debating on getting one myself, not as if there is a shortage of them either!

You can have em living in the oven for a little while, maybe an hour or so and then have them spend some time on your plate...
