Ari Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I love driving my cab with the wind deflector out and the windows down. But it's just starting to get a little chilly now and very sadly, I fear it's going to have to go back in ready for the autumn/winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lottiefox Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I had the MX-5 roof down this morning - three layers on, fleece and heating was on too. Someone of us don't have a wind deflector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Posted August 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 That is one of the beauties of the A4 Cab, a real all year round convertible. Windows down and deflector out for the full cabrio feel, but with deflector in, windows up and heated seats on it's the full open top experience but without the draughts. I drove a TT Roadster once and that was as blowy with the windows and deflector up as me A4 CAb is with them down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will22 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Ok I know that I'm going to get slated for saying this but.... ....do you all not feel just a bit stupid driving your cars with the top down in weather that's not great? When I see people driving their cabs with the top down in less than great weather I think, WHY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bells0 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 What is 'great' weather? As long as it's not raining is great weather up here at the moment!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I see people driving their cabs with the top down in less than great weather I think, WHY [/ QUOTE ] Each to their own eh. Have had the roof down in snow when it's -5 outside, and it's a lovely relaxing feeling. Probably done 50K+ with the roof down. It doesn't have to be sunshine and blue skies to enjoy pottering around the countryside, and it's often more pleasant when cooler as the car (e.g. heated seats/aircon) controls the temperature and not the sun. When I see people on a cooler sunday morning driving around with the roof down, I think good on them! ....blue skies tend to bring out the posers in cheshire. yawn.

ian_m Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I totally agree with Chav there, I have the roof down in all temperatures, as long as is dry and not blowing a gale then I am happy to have the roof down! Roof down motoring is a great way to chill out no matter what the temperature!! Thats why I have heated seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Same here. Grey day today, just went to Sainsburys to do the weekly shop, still drove home with the top down. Just feels good. Hard to explain really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damocles03 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Drove home from work from Portsmouth to Poole with the top down late this afternoon - chickened out and put it up in Branksome Tesco. Thought it was going to rain. It didnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
