With the sun shining this morning and forecast to shine all weekend, it was enough of an incentive to clean the car and get the hardtop off (even if it is going back on after the weekend due to the cold snap being forecast).

Awesome afternoon of getting to know the car better around a few of my favourite roads followed by a handful of pictures :













I also had the geometry checked / reset back to factory settings the other day at Wheels in Motion which has made a huge difference to the handling... whilst there i got this picture - quite like it for the unusual high positioning i could get :

 

i see you went to WIM, another happy customer? i drove past there today, keep meaning to book mine in.

managed to wash, clay and wax mine today, what a perfect weekend

 

Funkymonkey should be banned for life.

His personal info says "Enthusiast".


But he has just proven he is an owner with the fastest colour S too..

Boo Hiss!!


Nice photo's.. BTW
Although windows down photo's are my fav

 

Nice pics....

 

Is that car brown?

 

Some good shots there, maybe 0.3 stops underexposed though. Canon camera by any chance?

 

why?

heater works more than enough to cope with freezing weather so apart from looks I can't really see any advantage of using the hard top at all!

Am I missing something?

 

ive just got mine on to protect the soft top from the worst of the snow/road salt and general crap we get over winter

must admit i wished it wasnt on yesterday

 

I think you should leave the hardtop off now, even if we do get another cold snap it won't last long, March is just around the corner so getting warmer.

Anyway, top down on cold frosty mornings is not as bad as you may think with the heater on!

 

car is currently living outside as the garage is full of bits that we're currently doing to the house... i would prefer to protect the roof from frost etc and then remove it for Spring and Summer.

camera is a Fujipix - left it on automatic mode settings wise though as they were only intended as a few quick pics

it was only when going through the pic's that i wished i'd put the windows down! oh well, sure there'll be a next time!

and as for the WIM experience - cannot fault it at all... very reassured that my car was in safe hands and glad to have had the geometry reset back to factory settings... car is massivley improved now. i'll be definitely a returning customer
