Re: Never mind

Coupe. Convertibles are hairdresser's cars.

DOH!!!!

Damn you Mr Burns, now my 1st post looks like I'm dissing your poll :rant: :rant:


Anyway, I prefer coupes. Convertibles IMO are for more showy-off types (and Im never that cough cough...... )

Exactly

Re: Never mind

Do you swing? :lol:

 

Re: Never mind

I suppose Coupe, since most of my fave cars are coupes. But you people who are dissing convertibles, have you ever driven one?
I know it's a cliche, but that 'hair in the wind' driving feeling really is great.
However, a convertible should really be a convertible, or at least a coupe-based one.
A hatchback with it's roof chopped off is not acceptable. For a start, they always end up looking like they've got a massive fat arse.

OK, stubble in the wind then

 

Re: Never mind

Isn't it supposed to be 'wind in the hair' (or stubble)?

Ah GC, got a better avatar!! Nice one!!

Of course we all think that softtops are girly!!!

 

Re: Never mind

I think "convertible" is a bit misleading.

It makes you think of Beetles and those rancid French CC things and any other normal car which has had it's roof lopped off.

But if you are talking proper sports cars - is roadster too American sounding? - then that is a different cup of Yorkshire tea.

TVR Griffith, Caterham/Westfield, AC Cobra, Alfa Spider (proper one). Those are all really desirable cars and part of that appeal is the complete open air bugs in your teeth appeal. None of them would work as well with a roof on.

Some cars which are available as both DHC and FHC are a little harder to separate. I've never been much of an E-Type fan myself, but something like a Lotus Elan is as desirable in either form I reckon.

 

Re: Never mind

Old hairdresser's cars.

You don't see many old hairdressers do you?

Do you think it's all that standing up that puts them off?

I'm refering to cars which are available as coupes or convertible Jag XKR, Aston Martins and so forth. Apart from the Cobra none of the cars above were available as a coupe. So we're leaving out the Peugeot's and Merc's and so forth with the folding metal roofs and cars that are only available as convertibles.

Re: Never mind

I get it now.

I would go for coupe in that case. But the only thing which niggles me is the (proper) Lotus Elan, as I would love one in either form, so I'm going to sit on the fence and not vote.

They are still hairdresser's cars.

Albeit slightly more macho hairdressers.... armed only with clippers.... more akin to sheep-shearers than mamby-pamby "hair-designers" who wave their arms around like windmills....


....but they are still hairdressers

 

Re: Never mind

....but they are still hairdressers

When I get a Griffith, you will be welcome to call me a hairdresser.

I won't care.
