Default First day of spring

Spring is here at last

I stepped outside the house at 7.00am this morning and it was warm enough and sunny enough for me to want to take the S2000 to work top down. Until now my S owning experience has been shrouded in darkness, rain, mist, and other winter weather.



I don't think the beater is going to be driven much for the next 7 few months now

Very very windy here now but still sunny I thought I'd lost an eardrum at 80 mph with the wind being so strong. Didn't put the roof up though

If your definition of spring is roof down, then spring started months ago for me
