A new record
This morning we donned warm jackets, woolly hats and gloves so we could buzz off for a coffee in the MX5 with the top down. Haven't been out in it for a while and although cold, to begin with it was bright and sunny with blue skies.
An enjoyable run it was too, tootling along quiet roads, some stretches lined with heavily frosted trees. All very picturesque even though the car thermometer had the outside temperature as -4C. For us that's a record low when driving with the top down. It had shot up to -3C for the return journey. Global warming I suppose.

If the top's down, isn't that the inside temperature too?
Sam - not really. Heated seats, the heater and aerodynamics create a cocoon of not quite warmth but good enough if you have outdoor clothing on. Plus a hat, because there is an icy draught at scalp height.
