70 miles today with mine down...

It's ok having your roof down ........
As long as I've got my seat on and the hot heaters going
It's great then

 

[Antm72]

If the suns out its a chance to get the roof down ...... Its what heated seats are for...

 

[Mint]

As long as it's not raining the top is down.

 

[Rob-with-Rosie]

Had my top down most of the day, just one short shower at the close of the day and I had forgotten my umbrella so I had to put the top up again!

Would be rude not too..

Todays run out on the South Downs...

The Weather is looking good today, wish I wasn't at work til its dark

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr way to cold for roof down especially with no heated seats or wind deflector.
Roll on summer.

Nooooooooooooooooo! it's lovely and warm. If you think it's cold in a Zed with the roof down in February, you should try an MGB.

You should try a Series 11A Land Rover with the roof up if you think thats cold.. Its like trying to heat a hangar and the fan heater is near but useless. Ended up fitting a NATO heater designed for the frozen north.. At least then it actually got some warm air to your body.

Had a soft top series One 80inch, heaters were an optional extra, mine didn't have one. In the winter you arrived at your destination and draped yourself over the bonnet to get warm.

A friend of mine has an Austin Gypsy... You get more ice on the inside of the screen than you do on the outside.. So that 80" S1 I bet was a lovely vehicle to drive too.

 

[EnthuZiaZT]

Yes it was Paul, once you'd cracked the ice off your nose!

My old mini was like that Paul, when it snowed and you walked snow into the car it stayed there till the weather warmed up.

My 71 LR was okay in winter here must have been the exception I guess!! JIM

A couple of years ago I had a TD5 Land Rover 90, that had a lovely heater in it.
