Goodbye Old Faithfull
The time has come to say goodbye to my eighteen year old Peugeot Cabriolet. The last journey we took in it to Torquay it rained and I got a wet lap as the drips leaked through the rag-top. The cost of an MOT is more than the car is worth. No more open top cars. People slash them and the wind noise is deafening on a motorway. Can't see out of the rear window unless the top's down. Still life in her for a new enthusiastic owner. Lots of new parts in her. I think I'll cry when I say goodbye to her.
Going to look at a used Mini later today. I've had two mini cars in the past so looking forward to driving the new models. This one has a panoramic electric sunroof so bit of a halfway between open top driving and closed in. Not quite ready to be too sensible yet with a car. Still need a bit of sexy.

I had an open top car once, but not for long. I couldn't always get the roof up. I've been seen driving along with my passenger holding an umbrella over the two of us.
Kat! My electric doors jammed once and I was stuck in the car in Tescos carpark. In the middle of winter I had to get the manual top open and climb out over the jammed doors. Now that was useful.
Laughing at your image!
