April 2008 Car of the Month - convertibles

What a month. Seems only two days ago that I dumped that M3 back with BMW. I'll be frank; I DO NOT KNOW where the last four weeks have gone. It's been an unrelenting storm of lawyers, suits, lawsuits and â€Ëabusiness opportunities'.

My only respite was one bright morning late last week when I swung left at the NH Museum and headed for the park. What a morning!

If only I'd had the time to slowly cruise past the Serpentine. If only I'd been able to wait for the lights to change green. If only I wasn't being followed by several angry officers of the law. If only.

But all that aside, on a morning such as that, if only I'd been in a convertible.

What you got?

That'll be the 'lazy' mods who spend their own time helping on here for no reward other than this kind of reaction? Nice to know that we're appreciated.

Oh & FYI, we don't even know who Clarksun is.

Thanks for the info Trevor - I'll check it out with ZimmerBimmer. Wouldn't mind picking your brain sometime re hoods in general as yours looks sorted and I've got some issues with fit, rattles and draughts.Cheers - Steve
