Can never understand why you see lots of ragtops (mostly modern) with the roof still up, even in nice weather! when I had my Spitfires, and if I drove er indoors Mk1 MX5s, the roof was only up if it was tipping down. Weird!!!!

don't understand that one myself. we sell plenty of Beetle Cabriolets and our customers wear the tops out from using them, but all the other softtop cars i see around are running top-up. our new hardtop retractable, the EOS, sells well and also gets plenty of top down driving. perhaps it's the personality of the owner? VW owners tend to be more "car-aware" than many others; excepting perhaps BMW owners; and our local climate is more top-down friendly than some. i've had a Spit, an MGB, a Mk1 Midget (sticks and fabric top; no fun to put up) and a Fiat 124 Spider, all of which plenty of top down use. i'd have LIKED a hardtop cap for them but never got around to them before the cars sold on. but then they wouldn't have been ragtops....

Maybe they don't put the roof down with worries they may lose their toupees.... Shocked Shocked
