I just turned over another milestone on my drive home yesterday. In the same trip I got to 20,000 miles and 200 hours top-down.

 

THE LATEST STATS:
1437 miles
41.18 hours top down
5.93 hours top up
Top down driving average is 87.4%

 

Pretty impressive. Daily driver or weekend fair-weather fun car?

 

Here's mine...

Rain Rain go a way.....






Looks like I need to do a little cleaning.....

7 Mths in Roadster...150 hrs top down

 

Based on total drive time of 470 hours over 17,410 miles, top down about 89% of the time.

 

I think you have a slight advantage.

 

I need to add mine up again, but I have a feeling that my recent trip to the beach negatively impacted the numbers. It was too hot for my fiancee, so I had to keep the top up most of the way down and back. Got to keep it down while we were there, at least. Which was nice.

 

such blasphemy...sounds like a good reason to kick them out of the car on a curve just kidding

I cut off 6" of hair (its still long) and keep a brush in the car, sometimes throw on a baseball cap.....and always wear big sunglasses to keep hair out of the eyes. Topless all the way.....but always keep my shirt on I am not that kinda girl.

Did get caught in a downpour....was dry except for the wipers splashing in on drivers side, rolled up that window and was a very fun drive.....especially from the looks of other drivers

 

wow it actually tells you...that is so cool.......am jealous

 

Yeah, admittedly it's easy in SD - hardly rained all year!

 

THE LATEST STATS:
2208 miles
64.29 hours top down
7.39 hours top up
Top down driving average is 89.6%

Nice to see my percentage is up slightly from last month. In just a few days I will have had my Roadster three month. I quite pleased with the numbers. Let's see how easy the top down percentage will be to maintain with Fall approaching.

 

my wife has 12,700 miles with 151.30 hours top-down

 

How about the roof?

 

what?

 

19,326 miles and 255 hrs 23 minutes as of yesterday. Almost all road miles because I don't like driving in towns or cities unless I have to. Most of the miles have been logged in the sucky weather of Ohio.

 

116 hours top down

16 hours up

 

43h20 down / 2h20 up / 1169mls
. . . too new to brag about it though

94.9% down . . . not looking forward to winter

 

165 hours with the top down and 8456 miles driven.

 

How did you figure out the "up" time?

 

It's not extraordinarily precise but for this might be allright especially if your driving habits do not overly change.

You divide your total miles by your average speed. It gives you your total hours driven to which you subtract your total top down.
I made the assumption that with our low mileage the average would not have varied much.
I don't know how the average speed is calculated and if it varies over a shorter period of time or through the total life of the car which I unfortunately doubt...

I'll have to look for a more accurate way to calculate total driven time..

 

That's what I hoped you would say. I was hoping that you weren't misreading the openometer readout as the second number is a trip meter for the down time. Your numbers both ended in 20 so I thought it was a possibility.

 

Ha ha . . . thanks for looking out for me

 

THE LATEST STATS:
3453 miles
100.19 hours top down
6.71 hours top up
Top down driving average is 93.7%

Glad to see that my top down driving percentage was up 4.1% this past month. The top down driving weather in Chicago for September was great. Even with such great weather, I saw many, many convertible owners, of every make and model, driving around with their top up on beautiful days. I'm not sure what the point of owning a convertible is for these drivers. I'm looking forward to the cooler Fall days and the autumnal drives ahead.

 

It is so funny you say that as my wife and I keep saying and noticing the same thing . . . probably something to do with the "roadster aspect" and the "MINI lifestyle" combined
And yes September has been awesome.
