Default Drove home at 4am with the roof down

Finished my night shift at 4am. the car was all frosty and needed to reverse out of the car park space. so put the roof down then decided to drive home. (20 min drive) with the roof off.
It was a bit cold but a clear night. reminded me of the summer.
Got some funny looks from a police van at the round about.

I can't wait till the summer comes. Going to drive to Royan in france for 10 days. Not done a road trip in the S2 yet. What could be better than open motorways, roof down and some nice french sunshine.

oh pooh its still january

Thought it was not a good idea to put the roof down if it was frosty, icy or wet or am I being overly protective!?

A bracing top-down run in the winter with the heater on in topdown position is fantastic and really makes you feel alive
