I whimped out before my holidays in september!! Car was parked on the drive for 2 weeks, was a bit concerned. It was the end of november last year, I cruised back from Kilkenny with the roof down on one of those crisp artic days .. bliss.

Roll on spring!

PS I kinda like the hard top tho .. it's like having 2 cars .. completely different feel to the 5 with the hard top on .. and Will doesn't have to duck as much. There must be an extra couple of cms there!

I don't have, or want one. I'm a roof down all year round kinda guy, it gets chilly occasionally, but a nice clear winters day with the heater on full blast & a good woolly hat is still the business.

ditto - no h-top.... that's what the garage is for.

Well I figure if I can use a bike in the winter, I can certainly do the
roof down thing in winter !!

Yep hardtopped the 5 last week....dont have the luxury of a garage :roll:

If you're lucky J. you might get one with heated rear screen circa 500e.....there doesnt seem that many out there for sale.

Great to get a good pre NCT report that it only needed to oil/filter and air filter..bet it passes ok.

Thats another GREAT reason to keep it J......cheap as chips to run :wink:

Enjoy, Regards

John.
