rossybee Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Due to the imminent visit to the car quack (& the current wet weather), I took off the aeros & re-fitted the windscreen & ROOF 😳 Had a quick drive round the block, and it's not that bad! The heated screen is a necessity, there's more noise, and the smell of fuel is quite pleasant  Bit of a bugger getting my lardy ar$e in & out with any form of grace though  Sssssscottish SsssuperSsssnot!

Petrolhead Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Hmm but did you notice the drop in performance. I do when switching between full and aero screens R5 no 65 😬 I am STILL after a pair of half doors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossybee Posted March 29, 2005 Author Share Posted March 29, 2005 As I said, it was just a quick 5mins round the block, never above 40, so wasn't in a position to notice any difference wrt drop in performance  Sssssscottish SsssuperSsssnot!

Delbert Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005  I too had the roof up this weekend, and I did 200 miles to Skeggy and back. With the rear panel unzipped it was quiet a noisey experiance but at least Delbertas lips did not turn blue and her core body temperature did stay above 90 😬 The Liver is an evil organ and deserves to be punished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Gurr Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I did exactly the same thing this weekend. I had to drive from Hertfordshire, down to Dorset, accross to Somerset and back up to London in 2 days and did'nt think the gf would like aeroscreening all that way. I have to say I did'nt mind driving the car with the screen and doors on, especially not on long boaring motorway journeys, but hated having the roof up - so much so that it only stayed on for about 20 minutes. It feels like driving a very fast 2 man tent (and not a very well put together or waterproof one at that). Was great to get some real miles under the cars wheels though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossybee Posted March 29, 2005 Author Share Posted March 29, 2005 One of my 1st impressions (over & above the extra noise) was the fact that the windscreen seems to shrink when the roof is on! 😳 Sssssscottish SsssuperSsssnot!

Delbert Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Twas the fact that Caterhams have no ashtray that really buggered me until I realised that you can open the bottom part of the door and drop the ash out there 😳  Keep Britain Tidy only through decomposable ciggies into the line of Motorcylce riders 😬 The Liver is an evil organ and deserves to be punished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
