I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

That pic gives me a great idea. If everyone on SE sold their houses moved into caravans and chipped together we could get a fleet of supercars . :lol:
I can contribute some negative equity in exchange for a F430...? No? OK. :(

Dezzy, that looks daft. Pop the lid back on or buy an Elise, there's a good chap. :)

I took mine off to open up and seal the slot that feeds the cool air to the intercooler. Guaranteed 40 hp :damnfunny

But it wont be off again. Not unless it falls off.

Take care,

I have heard that SOME insurance companie's will invalidate your insurance if you crash without it (Scotty, hope yours was ok?).

Someone I know had a 12 months battle to get a pay out after crashing when the roof was off.... It's insured as a Coupe and taking the roof off is a modification, if you don't tell them about it, you could be up sh!t creek.

Yep, just used one of the allen keys supplied with the car. When you put it back on, there's a specific order to tightening the screws, explained in the manual, but I just took it off in any old order. Took about 15mins and while you could lift the roof on your own, it's definitely a bit easier with a 2nd pair of hands. :thumbsup

You like the new flat then Ross? I've had enough of city life and moved to a caravan park in Oban! :lol: :lol: 8)

I think the exige looks minging without the roof....however the no roof driving experience is much better!
Why not just drive Heds when you want to go roofless?

yes it's brilliant ! I've got an HTC kaiser and i use it to surf the net most nights. Opera Mini is very similar to the Iphone browser in look and feel allowing you to zoom in and out.

Or you can use it as vxjon does, by setting it to mobile mode and using it like IE.

It also allows you to browse this site :thumbsup

My HTC Touch Diamond came with Opera, it is much better. It rotates with the phone to view websites in widescreen :)

Summer is a much batter time without a roof :thumbsup

Remember when Ed got his done, took the only thing I didn't like about the Exige out of the equation.

Brilliant, and awesome for the trip round Europe now :D
