Having lost one baseball cap on the motorway, I'm very wary now!
I'm about 5'11" and I find a baseball cap starts to feel very insecure at any speed, once the wind starts to get under that peak!
The complete answer is a woolly hat pulled well down over your ears, and it's the warmest most comfortable solution too! Most people think my red one is.............. very nice!

Yeah, you have to set the cap on "too tight" setting and "spoiler down" attitude over 95.
And keep pulling down on the peak.
It's amazing how much more stable the car is at those speeds!

Definitely Definitely Definitely
We are mad so think not a few begrudgers, one example on dark evening, not at all cold, self and herself driving out of an exhibition, bloke comes over and asks "expecting the sun?"
I ask him when did you last express such concern to your fellow human being on his motor bicycle, or pushbike, or even on foot? Jealous sod.
Was I daft to buy that hard top? I really thought it would be on permanently by now!
I mean why would you ever want a tin roof over your head when you can have the sky?
BTW I think I'll do a poll: How many baseball hats did this car cause you to lose?
3 for me!

All this talk of top down motoring is making me feel guilty about my trip this morning under Tin Liddie. Mind you, it was bloody cold and damp at 8:00 oclock. Plus I would have had to leave the hardtop at my girlfiend's house - so that's my excuse

Another glorious day of topless motoring with the missus.
Little chillier today so I let her have the windows up on the way back, didn't feel right though.
Had to put the hardtop back on again now, ready for the commuter grind on the train tomorrow, oh well, here's hoping its nice next weekend.

Bizarrely, at one point we were queueing behind a Vitesse with its roof down and windows up, thankfully at the time I had my windows down
Generally though, she's pretty good about indulging me, I just have to fry my feet for her to have the heater on her knees enough, maybe I should get her a rug?!?
