out of all the other convertibles on the market their is only one other then the 240 that has caught my eye and its the BMW M3. It just looks damm sexy with the top down.

Congrats on the vert and welcome to the Club

After the convertible, I can only go t-top at the most, hahaha. At least for a while.

Convertible is so relaxing.

But before I bought this one I was looking at a Z32 Vert and M30 Vert.

My brother's got a Datsun 2000 roadster and my dad's had a Datsun 1600, TR3 and a 1949 Jaguar Mk V drophead coupe that was a blast.

There's just something about open-air motoring.

The only other convertible I can recall riding in was a VW Cabriolet... I met up with TCE members Zach and Bill in Detroit to score some 240 parts from our buddy Marcus. This was back in the summer of '06. Zach drove his sister's car (aforementioned convertible). We decided to go get some coneys and the four of us guys jumped in that stupid little thing with the top down to get some grub.

This event spawned the the question from me as we peeled ourselves out of the clown car: "Hey, what's gayer than four guys in a convertible Cabriolet with the top down? . . . . Nothing."

So now the ongoing joke with TCE is to compare levels of gayness to that standard. So far, the only thing we've come up with is two guys on a Segue...

Guess my first top down experience was an ex who had a '95 V6 Tang Vert, which really didn't make me want one that much.

I wouldn't mind getting another type of vert in the future, but it would need to have a functional roll bar.

240 is the best handler of the group, for sure.

so yeah, this one is my first vert. I really enjoy it for the most part, but I think the only thing that keeps it from having the "complete package" in my book is the lack of a glass window.

I think my ultimate project would be to find another 69 MGB and swap an SR into it.

The first verts I've ever driven were the S2k's when I worked at Honda.

OH I FORGOT!!! I had an 88 ( I think... can't remember) Ford Bronco that had the removable hard top. I never had the top off though so I guess I never considered it a "convertible". So take that for what it's worth.

I've owned several turbo eclipse spyders but those are a whole nother breed compared to RWD NA verts.

1990 Mazda Miata - still have it but selling it. Completely rebuilt everything except the motor - have a turbo head for it and was going to turbo it - but kind of dissapointed with the Miata even though they make great auto-xers. Final straw was being hit on at a Wendy's drive through by a young "male". "nithe car !!"

1970 GTO Convertible. Been in the family since new, and still garage kept with under 3,000 miles in the past 20 years. (it's a keeper for full restoration even though it's very clean)

1992 Nissan 240SX vert WHICH I'm not showing you guys yet
She's in the bodyshop getting a colour change - but I'm making is very purty before I debut her in this forum and show you guys what she'll be like. If you want hints...you can head to my site and check out some of my street and race cars and get an idea.
