taking the long route home???

Bianchi Dave · 05-18-2024, 10:32 AM

With Chris's record he's probably sold it already!

JustChris · 05-18-2024, 11:00 AM

All good all home. Just posted a bit randomly is the Tesla thread whoops.

70 miles in the last 2 days, been great fun with the top down, the sun has been glorious in North Wales this weekend.

Cracking!

Nice one Chris, congrats on your new car.

XAlp · 05-19-2024, 04:04 AM

Is it a black roof or glass?

JustChris · 05-19-2024, 04:31 AM

Cheers all, yes cannot wait. It’s one of those no test drives neeee

The manual cars have a black roof and the autos a body colour. Quite strange to bother with a difference.

Its definitely been a good weekend for a convertible. I was in Derbyshire celebrating (so took the Jag as had the dog and the other half!) but back today so nipped to the pub in the Mini - it even made the queue on the M25 bearable..

EV for the daily grind, manual convertible for the fun. perfect combination - and doesnt need to be the last word in power on todays busy roads...

I'm think about getting one of these for the wife to jot about in. At 6ft 2 could I be comfortable in this model if I take it out (I could not get in and comfortable in the previous model) I am told there is more room in the canvas roof version but not sure how true that is.

What's the advantage of the canvas roof vs the hardtop, is it weight, room, etc?

JustChris · 05-20-2024, 04:14 PM

6-2 I’d say probably not best suited to the MX Boba nah. Give it a try, I think you’d ‘fit’ but not be comfortable at all. Best try it maybe again at a delar.

Soft top yes a little lighter. RF IMO looks better roof up (maybe down too) and has no fabric to worry about. Also automated mechanism if that’s of interest.

Wet weather testing out on the Wirral.
Such a nicely blanched car to drive.

danb1979 · 05-26-2024, 01:22 PM

Great car, gorgeous colour. My brothers CX5 Exclusive is the same colour... Its lovely.

Unfortunately there's no way in hell of me fitting an MX5. Tried many times
