Left for work very early this morning, no one around large roundabout - the magic is still there!

Definitely something to get up for!

It will be fine, grease up your suspension joints, hinges and battery terminals, get some hood protector or put the hard top on & get a little jumper for the gear knob!!

These last few days have been very nice. However I'm a bit worried about putting my roof down first thing in the morning, if it's been a bit frosty. I've noticed when folded down the roof doesn't quite sit as low as it would normally.

Is it adviserable not to put the roof down if it's been frosty the night before?

You need to put it down semi-manual....

Stand at the side of your car, take the roof back half way then tuck the glass in manually and ensure the roof is folding the tucks in neatly, then slowly go down the rest of the way, the roof will stoy-away 100% correct.
