Dave,
I can sympahise too, my "7" has a roof but its pretty pointless and takes about 5 minutes to erect so a brolly is normally standard equipment in my car, stuck in traffic in the rain and out it comes, gets some really weird looks too!
At least i know mines is a pain in the ass to put up and it has never been any different but if i parted with the cash for a drop top merc i would be kicking dealership ass asap about it too.
Still made me chuckle though lol

Just re-read the original post , would the car not go ( possible , the roof mechanism may be interlocked to prevent operation above very low speeds )? You can keep surprisingly dry with the roof off if you keep going at above 40 MPH or so, electric windows up on you car ( Sidescreens clipped on for those of us with more traditional sports cars ) . You must have an iron will to avoid driving with the sole aim of keeping dry though and ignoring safety .
There is no motoring pleasure greater than arriving at traffic lights just as they turn green in a rainstorm with the roof down .
Please record and play back your reasoned and moderate conversation with the dealership .

Slightly embarrising, came out of a pub in Witltshire some years back. I wanted to relieve myself of some of the beer that I had inside me, so I leaned on a newly built wall. Nedless to say it collapsed and I ended up pissing over myself with all my m8s watching and pissing themselves laughing.

I can indeed confirm that my conversation at 8:30 this morning in the showroom, was both moderate and reasoned and that I only used the 'F' word twice whilst describing how dissapointed I was in the product I had been sold. I left with a reassurance that the problem will be sorted and the satisfaction that I remained in control, which is something I struggle with if a tad annoyed. Mrs davej who has witnessed my displeasure with other people at times, remained in my car outside and was shocked that I had kept the expletive count down to two.

Without a doubt it was a few days ago whe Ii sold a couple from Herts a motor with a right dodgy roof.
I got my commission but couldn't help cringe with embarrasment as the good lady drove off into a downpour.
I have since switched over to the local Skoda garage to avoid detection biggrin

BASTARD!!

It was you Ginster, have you any idea of what weve been through!! traumatised I'm telling ya!! :shock: humiliated beyond belief!!..... All confidence in the roof has been shot away..........she wont dare use it in the best shirt is ruined........her handbag is now better suited for transporting Goldfish around and all so you could earn a poxy in commission..........
AARRGGHHH!! :x If we could get hold of you right now you would suffer the same fate, soaked you would be........ sodden to the core........Ha!! I'd dunk you in Rogers bath after he had been in there........bettr still I'd make you drink Rogers bath water.
fLucking hell man weve been through a living nightmare......MRS DAVEJ!!! I will hold him down and you nail his nuts to this lump of wood..........no tell you what, stick this smartie tube up his chuff and let him go to hospital and get it fished out ........let him suffer the embarrassment of the nurses singing......
'Smartie people are happy people they smile all the time because their feeling fine'.......
thats it...a smartie tube it is!!

Oo-er, look what happens when you come clean. Just wanted it off my tarnished conscience. Who said honesty was the best policy?
I am horrifed by the prospect of gulping the bath water.
Can I just check......are you planning to do that thing where you leave 1 lid on the smarties and jump on the other end...thus propelling said lid right up my, ahem, chuff?
I'd rather you didn't.
On the bright side, look at all the lovely waterfowl you will attract on your country drives.
Look, I feel bad sooooooooo.....I can do you a tidy deal on a dehumidifier and a nice plastic, transparent hood for Mrs DaveJ.
'Tis tres fetching

I worked in Hanover many years ago, we had a lad with us and he was black as the proverbial ace of spades. We named him Fiji. :shock:
Well we were walking down the red light street Fiji and I trying to get laid for free. We were having some success with these two ladies of the night, as they were finishing in about a half hour and were going to take us home with them. Great biggrin

I t was right then that Fiji turned around all joyus and walked straight into a lamp post and knocked himself out.
All the hookers and punters were creased up with laughter, I could'nt help him as I was ROTFL.
Needless to say we never did see the girls again :cry:
