    Lol indeed. I'm surprised the roof still works. My son had it up and down so many times yesterday lol. Good job it's still under Volvo for another two years. And yes. My son dressed in his Eskimo disguise. We went skiing in Folkestone but he looked a bit of a troll with just his hat above the door frame lol

    Lol. Thanks Dave. It will try that later when home from work. Took me ages finding a safe parking spot in the base carpark. If there is a scratch or dent in her when I get back to the base. There will be nuclear fallout over Hertfordshire

    Cheers guys. Yep. Smitten indeed. Just love driving with the roof down most of all. U cannot beat the openness of having no walls or roof. It's the closest u can get to the freedom of a bike on 4 wheels lol and the Dynaudio sound system just enhances the drive. Damn. I just drive it for the hell of it. Just been for a drive round the central London night life with the top down.... Is it possible to grin in your sleep? Lol
