If you don't have one yet, get the aftermarket windscreen. There's a thread in the convertible forum that tells all about it.

With the windscreen, a pair of jeans, and a sweatshirt, you can motor topless in some very cool temps (helps if the sun is out, too).

Our club had a run today. We were up in the Sierras, and it was 35 degrees for a while - snow on the ground and everything. We had two or three convertibles in the group, and they were top-down the whole time.
