    Only got my copen in February, so yesterday after work it was, for the first time warm enough here in sunny dorset to drive home with the top down. What an amazing feeling. Copen is the best car I have ever owned love it. Day off today so going to clean little car again.:)

    Open Copen Weather!

    Hi Elizabeth
    Like you, I've only had my Copen for a month and Easter Sunday was our first 'proper' roof down drive out. Hubby had to slump down a bit in the passenger seat (he's 6'4") so he could see out of the windscreen properly :D but it was brilliant!

    Same here, we drove along a packed southend sea front, heating on full blast, seats on and pretended it was August!:rolleyes:

    We're sick of the cold miserable weather here. The slightest glimmer of a nice day & we're all going roof down.

    Sunday was the first proper day for me too, only had mine since the beginning of March so i've been eagerly awaiting the first bit of sun. I found today that putting the windows up with the roof down, seats on and heaters on adds A LOT of warmth!! :)

    It's lovely and sunny here but waaaaaaaay too cold to have the roof down yet.:( we did try it in November when we got the car but we could only stand ten minutes. Roll on the warm weather! I do nip out and clean Nobby when the sun shines though.
    Next door has even done their first mow of the year but you won't catch me doing mine yet.

    Dwayner, you have no idea how much we long for a warm sunny day. We probably get about twenty proper nice days a year so every one is precious :cool:

    Drive with the roof down at night, especially a clear night. Thats an amazing feeling and better than day time. You feel the panoramic view of the sky and view of all the stars if you not in a lit area, street lamps etc. Its a very romantic feel about it.

    I think I jinxed the weather as we got snow today in Dorset (We barely get any) in April, really this crazy weather needs to cheer up so I can go topless again (Roof down) I mean obviously.

    first cold morning in 6 months! 14C - going to be 28C today - and continue the same over the weekend, so going to take the Copen for a long run along the Great Coast Road, which Ive never done, but its one of the most amazing roads in the world, as it hugs the cliffs, and looks out across the 12 Apostles, which are these tall steeple-like islands just off the coast. Its at least a four hour drive of amazing scenery! Anyone done this road trip before?

    I take it you are not bringing the copen if there are more than two of you. I will be the one driving down the seafront with the roof down even though it is cold. So if I see a stranger waving I will know it is you. have fun we have a new tower at the end of the seafront that gives you great views

    Liz:)
