Default S2000 season

Every year there is one weekend where all the "Summer" vehicles come out for the start of the new season and it looks like today is the official start day.
I was out today (in the CR-V admittedly) and there were loads of bikes and convertibles on the road (although the bloke I saw with the roof down on a VW Beetle complete with a plastic flower in the special holder had to be in his wife's car surely).
So it's time to get the "real" sportscars out of the garage, evict the mice that have nested in the boot for the Winter, and get the top down for some serious motoring.

Me too! bizarrely I kept seeing things in pairs: saw two CR-Zs, two Focus RS, two S2000s and even more rare, a pair of Mustangs, including a lovely white '66 GT350, all in the Newbury area.

Dappa, what are the CF glasses like? I assume they are Ray-Ban? Wouldn't mind a pair, but can't justify forking out more money for a pair of sunnies, when my Oakleys are just fine.

I had my roof down yesterday, going through slowish traffic and a boxster goes the other way. I can see the guy staring at me but I'm not too sure/bothered why, then check in my mirror and he's putting his top down too! Great minds

Yeah, my HT is still on. My other half refuses to help me get it off, as she doesn't want the thing taking up our front room

May sell the HT to avoid the hassle.
