do real men drive convertables?
 
bit of fun here realy but after alot of pee taking at work we had a good chat on finding convertables that are not hairdressery or girly
only mens convertable we could think of was a saab 900 everything else was not ok for real men to drive including some nice modern sports cars.
we are ruleing out classics and or realy prestige cars here as it has to be ownable with out lottery help :D

to help you all visualise think of any convertable you can think of pull up next to you at the lights and then think of the person you usualy see driving them.

all real man convertable should be posted up here for debate

1.saab 900
2.

Does not bother me....


What does... What really gets my dander up...

Why buy a drop top in a country that rains 90% of the time ( not a problem on it's own ) and then the 10% when the sun is shining can't be bothered to take the top down!

I don't mind Convertables, quite like the old Rover 200 one , Not too keen on these little compact things like the Peugot and Micra.

My old Renault Rodeo (if eligible as a convertible: you could remove the soft roof, and roll the 3 soft rear windows :cool: ) was definitely the lethal weapon for girls! I even managed to park it in the VIP parking lot of a fancy night club close to Montpellier where I used to live (south of France), and it worked: the valet took my keys and parked it between the Ferraries and the Corvettes :D

Reminds me of all those old jokes:D

eg--- What do you call a Trabant Convertible Answer---A skip.

Twin exhausts---wheelbarrow
Heated rear window---for keeping your hands warm whilst pushing.
ETC
