Hi all,
I usually end up putting the top up around 40 F. This year I was running
Brooklands Screens and the old ears really get quite nippy at 60mph and 40
F. I think extending the season really comes to preparation. (ie. leather
jacket, scarf, hat, ear muffs) You could problably drive in 20 - 30 degrees
with one of those aviator scull caps and goggles, but I haven't convinced
the wife and kids they are cool yet. So to save them a call to the local
mental hospital about their nut case dad, I just put the top up.
Cheers,
Mike Thompson
