Default who was that?....& at last she's tried it!

Who was that I saw on the M3 last friday.........S2000KV?

I had my hood up, on a lovely sunny day, because my other half had her hair to consider!! It was around the Fleet/ Basingstoke area, were you just driving through ....I had come down from NW London.

But.......today she came for a ride with the hood down...only about a mile each way but such progress. Anyone else with a similar problem...other halves, bless 'em, can be ssssssooooooo unadventurous!!

Tell your other half to use a whole can of hairspray, her hair will not go anywhere

Yup, had this exact same problem....to which there are one of 4 solutions;

1) dont take your partner anywhere in the car
2) change partner
2) get your partner to shave all their hair off (from their head )
3) buy her a stylish, yet practical head scarf

Number 1 is just no fun, number 2 would be too complicated (err, plus of course, I love her to bits), number 3 was a bit too radical (the Sigourney Weaver/Demi Moore look doesnt do much for me), so number 4 it was, and I havent had a single complaint since !

My wife took one of her friends out in the S2k around Chertsey/Brooklands. After they lost count of the number of times they were waved at/beeped/wolf wistled etc I thought I was never going to get the car back.

Never had a problem in getting the top down after that.....

Never had a problem with my girlfirend. If it looks like a good day, then the top comes straight off

Like today: 280 miles on the motorway from Brighton, top down all the way !!! Ahh its great to be able to enjoy this car !

Am I the only one dying to comment on option number 3, but this is a polite board so I cannot...

My guess is that taking option 2 will lead to both effects. Well it certainly would with me.....

Sam. - I think you just did comment on 3, but politely.

Maybe we should ask Muz - a new product line and group buys

-Brian.

(Yes, I don't current have another half, so I can get away with this. No offence intended!)

Trisha had a perm so doesn't worry about the wind. So it's top down whenever it's not raining.
