offset the difference by filling up from empty with Tescos momentum 99ron! I drink a glass of the stuff every morning before work...My manager remains puzzled as to how my 'timing' is still 'retarded' ahem!

Had a HT on my first S. Mine is only on the road for the summer. While licking the look I found it a PITA when the sun came out when you wanted a quick opportune top down blast...... and storage of it!

Another fact to remember is that treating your soft top with some UV protectant will help prolong its life, plus Honda soft tops (as with most Jap convertibles) are very tightly stretched. When they are left down for a long period of time they "shrink" thus heightening the risk of premature failure.

I have a hardtop on my BB 02. It came with a stand and is in lovely condition since neither I nor previous owners used it.

I've had it on the car twice, once to get it home and once when moving home, since it's the safest way to transport it. Both times it creaked constantly and I couldn't wait to remove it.
