Yes - the fold down time for a Fiat Spyder was something to envy!!!!  One of 
the more positive qualities of this vehicle I recall from my Spyder daze (I 
won't bother to tell you about the time I got stuck in midtown NYC because the 
engine firewall gave way leaving me clutchless.) - but yes... the top went 
down nicely.

To make us feel a little better I want to say that just throwing the hood
down like that is just as bad on a Miata as on an MG.  You are supposed to
unzip the rear window first!

Now, if you had a Fiat Spider....
