: : I suspect that it will be the same issue with either the softtop too. I will post some more top "up" photos over the weekend. Now the real issue is . . . .
: : who is going to drive this car with the top up anyway??

: I do, since I live in Germany and not in FL or CA and we do not have that much sun over here.
: And... on the autobahn at 120mph or more you better close the top or your briefcase will be gone in secondsg


Of course I was making a "little" joke since parts of the US are every bit as inclement as Deutschland. As to travel at speed, though illegal in most states, given the size of this country and our rather large open spaces, particularly in the Western half of the country, there have been drivers who have been known to “open it up” and cruse at Autobahn speeds. I have an M Roadster and try never to put the top up. Have the open car at speed is a BIG part of my fun. It the Z8 were not an open roadster, I would not be a buyer.

Now a cabriolet M5 would be interesting!
