Sorry to see you go, but a nice way to bow out.  I trust you will get the roof down even in those sunny but cold winter days.

Nothing wrong with being that knob, I drove down to Eastbourne in my M top down as well with the bum heaters on and a scarf  8)

Those roofies just don't know what they are missing, one with nature and all  :))

No point in having a 'vert' if you just wait for good weather......

Mrs X5Sport had the roof off at every opportunity.  But then she's short enough to stay behind the screen!  I bl@@dy froze.. :cold:

I drove a couple of colleagues home after a night out.  The one in the rear asked me to put the roof down......it was mid December.  I of course carried out his wish and proceeded to turn the heat up to max.  Well with in two minutes he was freezing and begging to get the roof up, but I explained that until we went slow enough I wasn't going to stop unnecessarily. Twenty minutes later we arrived at his house, me and the front passenger toastie and happy, him, blue and very unhappy.   

I do love getting the roof down, regardless of the time of year.
