I Spain at the mo' and weather is scorchio ... but been looking round in terror from the rear seat of a taxi and noticed there are so few convertibles whereas in UK, where weather is raining or freezio, there are so many?

Is convertible ownership a British passion?

Yup, ironic isnt it

When it's that hot aircon is the way to keep cool.

Read a couple of article saying they sell more convertibles in the UK than the rest of Europe.

It isn't sunny here much, when it is, we like to enjoy it!

The sun eats you alive in hot climates.......shade is what you crave most when its baking hot.....
nothing like burning the backs of your legs on hot seats. Thus a towel is deployed on the seat and steering to keep them cool.
