Took the wind out on Saturday with weather being overcast and a bit chilly. Blasted the heater up to 26 degrees and put the heated seats on. Very impressed other than a little cold air round the next I kept nice and warm with the roof down.

Great thing about any roadster / sports car, from past experience, is that the manufacturer usually raids the parts bin of larger cars to get items such as heater cores rather than make bespoke items. Plenty of spare capacity.

I do notice that even on cold mornings the Wind's heater is putting out some heat within 1/2 mile of setting off. One of the quickest I've ever experienced.

So I'm not the only "nutter"; according to my neighbours; who gets the roof down at anything over 10 degrees C!

I have some messy jobs that need doing today so the KA will be used but hoping to get out for a run tomorrow.

We had a couple of cold morning thus week the leather seats in the KA are not heated and they were cold.

Always loved the drive to and from work with the top down catching the full beauty of the sky as the sun rises/sets.  There has been some lovely skies this week.  Anyone else like driving in the dark with the roof off or is it just me......

We have been driving the Twingo this afternoon with the roof off, but not in the dark. Going out tonight though so you never know. Lovely weather again this afternoon.
