"MAKE UP YOUR MINDS, THAT IS SOME THING THE ENGLISH DON,T DO ANYMORE. DO THINGS YOUR WAY, IF YOU KEEP LISTENING TO THESE TWERPS YOU NEVER LIVE YOUR LIFE, BUT TO FIND YOU LIVED ON THERE TERMS AND NOT YOUR OWN, THAT IS REAL LIFE."

That seems like an extreme reaction to some convertibles...
I don't think there's a political agenda in an article entitled "Unique convertibles that shouldn't exist"
Granted, on a political subject many papers and magazines do have political agendas but they aren't on this article or many of MSN's articles. Many of which are only a few paragraphs long anyway!

They did a convertible Rover Metro / 100 a few years back. It was just wrong!! Some would argue that the Metro / 100 was wrong anyway but there were plenty about and quite a few are still on the roads today albeit a bit rusty.  

this is the truth, no gives a dam about all this crap about, what should exist or not. Its not down to reporters to make such an article. Reporters always blind you anyway, as they work closely with the goverment anyway, there is always a political gain in story,s don,t let them blind you.

 

I say stop going on the figures, if you prefer a certain car and you know it feels right to you, it does,nt matter what others think, and you should not buy a car just because most people buy that car.

 

MAKE UP YOUR MINDS, THAT IS SOME THING THE ENGLISH DON,T DO ANYMORE. DO THINGS YOUR WAY, IF YOU KEEP LISTENING TO THESE TWERPS YOU NEVER LIVE YOUR LIFE, BUT TO FIND YOU LIVED ON THERE TERMS AND NOT YOUR OWN, THAT IS REAL LIFE.

THE SKODA ADVERT " LET THE SUNSHINE IN" ALL THE ONES I WORKED ON LET THE RAIN IN WITH OR WITHOUT A ROOF. HOWEVER ALL THESE VARIANTS PLAYED THEIR PART IN THE EVOLUTION OF TODAY'S VEHICLES..... I STARTED IN THE MOTOR TRADE WORKING ON SIMCAS, NSU EUROPAS ...THE GOOD OLD DAYS..LOL

The Peugeot 407 Macarena's roof is amazing. Youtube it!

The BMW is actually an E30

 

I worked for KJ Group and can remember being invited to our Widmore Road Showrooms in Bromley for the unveiling of the Cavalier Centaur. I still have one of the first original brochures ( as per the above pic ) and I drove the original car featured in the brochure, we had rostyle wheels on the offside and campagnolo wheels on the nearside...

This is an awful article, all these cars are classics in their own way.

 

My wife had a Punto Cabriolet for a number of years, it was a great little car, superb in the sunshine, and also with the hood up - a great little car.

 

Added to which, what wouldn't you do to own that Citroen now

 

Very lazy article

Intrigued by the usual vitriol spewing forth from the keyboards of MSN readers. The brief was to compile a piece on 20 cars turned into drop-tops by independent companies. It seems I'm lazy and this is a rubbish article; in what way have I not hit the brief?
