As everybody knows by now my car was in a prang, and one thing I've noticed is that the roof takes about 9 seconds to go up or down now.

I reckon this indicates the roof mechanism has taken a bang and I want it replacing - all helps towards a write off.

However, I imagine I will need to prove that my roof is now 30% slower than it used t obe / should be (should be 6 secs?). I will phone Honda to see what they say, but does anybody know if there are "official" figures about the roof operation time?

Hmmm, you need that fottage of Top Gear when Jeremy demonstrates the roof against the Boxster and the Z4.

i sky+ed it from uk gold one night last week. its 6-7 seconds.i`ll get a stopwatch out n get u a more accurate time if u want. surely someone can measure how long it takes on their car n get back to u.

just had an idea why dont we have a hood droping comp to find out whos got the fastest roof. wonder were u can get the mods for souping up ur roof motor!

Can you not get Kelk to take you along in his and try them side by side?

Chris Type R

No good, everything on Kelk's car is slower as it's a Silverstone.

Chris Type R

Oh, it might take longer if the engine is not running.

Dan Hale

True - but if they take the same time there is definitely something wrong!

- especially if the car has been sitting for a while, we all know how good the S2000 is at retaining charge in the battery.......(or is that just because of the crappy UK alarm system?)

...but the roof's black and that's the slow bit
