Default When the roof is down...........

Had the roof down a lot lately, as I'm sure many of us have.

Qu is - Does anyone ever drive their S with with the roof down & the windows up?

See so many convertibles on the roads, most of which have the windows up. Not a good look IMO. Just plain soft too.
If the roofs down on my S the windows are too. Its all about style.

Sometimes when driving quickly, mostly on motorways.

Quite a lot, other than in summer. Especially on the motorway, or if it's particularly cold.

Yeah, same was true for me.

Plus as I gel my hair, if I left the window up I knew I could get to my destination I knew my hair would still be a styled mess, whereas if I had the windows down, by the time I got to where I was going, I was left with an Afro!

I agree it doesn't look good, but I usually put them up on the motorway...

Yep it looks ugly, but above 60-70mph, having the windows up helps me hear my tunes. When I drop back below 60ish I usually put them down.
