Convertibles = ****?

Ah yes the first bit of sunshine and out they come - permatanned, sunglasses & smugness

I passed a a hot girl driving a convertible Audi TT the other day on the motorway, I hoped she was a wanker, and I'd be the wankee

Kevin Duffy

Convertible a little wankerish. Add a ponytail, expensive sunglasses or any kind of slip-on shoe and hop into your open-top and you are a complete joke, but thanks for the entertainment value.

Icaras

sadly enough I have a convertible and yes they are a disaster. 2 days per year convertible weather and the rest rain, wind, drizzle, snow etc. dont buy a convertible if you live in Ireland. fantastic when the weather suits t but sh1t the rest of the time.

We've had the top down all week. Sucks to be you.

I love my convertible and you're just jealous!!! :cool:

Chris P. Bacon

People who wear sunglasses driving are ****,the Irish way is squinting your eyes.

ismiseuisce

Owning a convertible in Ireland is pretty stupid.

I have heard people who own convertibles say that the few days a year when you can actually let the roof down make them completely worth it. It would be pretty cool heading up the mountains with the roof down on a sunny day in fairness.

What are ya driving bluewolf, I'm curious now!?

or holding your hand over them shielding out that fiery yellow thing that appears in the in sky occasionally at some point between the months of may-august, Irish scientists have yet to figure out what it is or if we should worship it.

How come most guys that drive convertables are short, bald and middle aged , but most women that drive convertables are hot?

It makes no sense.

I think that when you buy one, the finance forms have boxes to tick for "Going anywhere nice on holidays this year?" and you have to view the car in a mirror the salesman holds up while he walks around it.

Some of the more recent soft-tops have alarms if they're cut. I have absolutely no idea how that works (metal woven into the fabric?).
