Paradoxically on the last day of Winter (yesterday) I was motoring topless.....

On the First day of Spring I am w/ my top up, heated seat on and heating at full blast !!!

There is nothing like a bit of topless motoring after a tough day at the office... so thankful the warm weather is back!

The last couple of days with warm weather have prompted me to open all three of my windows and I'm suddenly more interested in the sound of the car than my radio. After years of driving with music on...sometimes really noisy music turned up really loud...I've started turning my radio completely off. The whine, the buzz and the burble are completely intoxicating when the windows are open and I can hear a bit of what the people outside hear from my car.

I'm still happy with my coupe, but I kinda wish I had a ragtop.

We've had a couple of rainy days . . . the rain is easy at speed . . . but I had to pull off when caught in a traffic jam once this week. I also discovered that hail doesn't act like raindrops . . . and it doesn't bounce off my face shield like it did on the motorcycle . . . I'd describe it more as beating me senseless. Sad to put the top up but there is still the accelerator pedal to sooth me even if I have to motor with the top up.

Rain rain go away! Come again...well, only come again in times of drought. I put down my windows on my way to work last night, like always since I would be moving at about 35MPH the rain wouldn't be an issue. But on my 1st turn, all the water puddled on my roof poored all over me through the window
