Default Hardly ever have the T-Tops on

We hardly ever have the T-Tops on in New Zealand, we have been caught twice by rain, but it's never that cold that we can't have them off.
Mind you, we usually wear jackets in winter, in your terms the mid-day temperature in winter would be mid fifties deg F, so it's ok. I must get my heater working one day. At the moment, it's early autumn, and it can be the hottest time, where I live, it would average low eighties deg F.

Well, it wasn't quite that nice here today, but it was good enough to drive the '88.

I finally got to put the top down today, first time!

I bought my car early January and trailered it home from Indy in the rain. Today the temp finally got to 67F and I was able to give it a bath and get rid of the dirt. Nothing like hand washing a car to find all the little blemishes, I'm happy to report I didn't find many.

Best part of the drive, had to stop in at the Flying J to drop off a FedEx shipment, while in the car a trucker honks his horn and give me a big Seems like I get one every time I drive it

It has been minus 5 degrees here with the wind chill. I've been busy crawling around on the cold concrete Garage floor working on the underside part of the restoration.
