SupraStar 3000 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 FFS! This weather is doing my friggin nut in. Bought a £400 carcoon to overcome this rubbish weather our country is cursed with,.. but oh no! Thats not enough for 'god allshitey'! Weather forecast looked good, sun was out so I decided to take the Supra out for a blast without the roof - BAD IDEA!!! Wind in my hair, twin turbos doing their thing - Life was good. Heading through the busy market town of Loughborough and turned off the radio so I could hear the positive comments made by the people passing by,.. "wow",.. "daddy daddy, look", "he must have a small penis" etc etc,.. ... then [thunder clap] from sun to storm. In less than 60 seconds it absolutely pissed it down,.... just when things couldn't get any better, a double decker buss in front scraped by a lorry. Both drivers stop to exchange details and for the next 10 minutes or so,as i sit in my car without a roof slowly drowning It was like i was sitting in my own personal swimming pool with wheels. Really pissed off,.. and my introduction to the world of Supra aerotop ownership has been soured. Going off to sulk B@st@rds!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseys Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I remember that Top Gear episode in Africa where they shoot a hole in the floor to drain the water out? Otherwise next time have two big golf umbrellas in the back for an amusing temporary roof. Never having owned or even sat in an aerotop, why wasn't the roof in the boot..? Or should I not mention the boot here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Dont you take the roof with you? could of just pulled over to put it on, i so badly wanted/want a aerotop but theres no point in having one in this country unless your going to garage it to enjoy it with the roof of, weathers so unpredictable:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Thats going to stink....... I carry mine at all times in the boot. Less than a minute to put it on and off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 I took the roof off so I could get inside easier to fit my ARP mirrors. Didn't think it would rain so left it at home! I must have looked a complete tool sitting in the rain There goes all my street credibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attero Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 That's my kind of day EVERYDAY. That's why I will never own an areotop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 It's stunningly gorgeous in Eastbourne today, and I'll be going out topless later. I might even take the rear spoiler off as well, just to see what the fuss is about. Sorry to hear about your woes, Ed. The worst I've had, is being shat on by a seagull while waiting in the queue for petrol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz1 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Your telling me bud, I spent 6 hours cleaning the supe and took it out of my carcoon as weather forcast said It would be dry. What happens it rains for 5 bloody mins and stayed dry after that. Fucking enough to make my car dirty!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
