Re: On the Road in a Roadster
It's hard to beat a sunny day in a roadster
  The trouble is we don't get many so, drive it anyway,anyhow. , ,

Re: On the Road in a Roadster
This thread is dead on. NOTHING compares to a roadster. I've had people ask me when I'm going to get a top. I just look at them like THEY'RE the crazy one.

Re: On the Road in a Roadster
I got out on Sunday for a couple of hours. A little brisk. But invigorating. Hopefully we will have a few days during the Winter that are roadster friendly. And if not, I will get out anyway. You have to be an iron man if you want to enjoy roadstering.

Re: On the Road in a Roadster
man this topic made me think of the feature i read about old east coast hotrods and this one pic of a dude in a seriously channeled 32 roadster driving in the snow back in 1957. no hat on, just a jacket lookin back with a huge grin on his face. the caption read "those east coast boys had to be tough" epic roadster moment.

Re: On the Road in a Roadster
The wife and I took a 50 mile ride this last sunday in our bucket, and yes there is nothing like riding in a roadster any time of the year. Been in the rain a time or two myself, every notice that when you are caught out in the rain, that it rains on both side of the windshield.

Re: On the Road in a Roadster
rain sucks but snow is worse, these are from jimmy's ranch run a couple years back, we were to stupid to drive a closed car. i think it was 12* in julian that morning, it gives a good story but at the time it was miserible. we stopped in to a bakery and took the gloves off that little exposed chunk of skin between the jacket and glove was purple. sometimes it's better to be stupid and miserable in a roadster than cozy in a coupe.
 chick and parvin followed but they had tops  and one from a regular sunny so-cal day following my dad down pch
