haha.. yeah i've always had that... but my old polo "open air" had a full length leccy sunroof... was so nice.. apart from when i sunburned the top of my head.. might miss that this summer... but air-con might make up for it.. plus i've got tilt+slide :)

Does anyone else with aircon get a very slight vibration through the clutch pedal when you've got it turned on?

Air con yes, unfortunately not climatronic (cheapskate first owner)

Clutch Pedal Vibration, hopefully not.

If you want to go one better than air-con for the really hot days, I have an angle grinder you can use. Roll on summer days and roof down motoring ;D

You can get a convertable feel if you have a sunroof, just put the seat as high as it will go and lean to the left, then everything above the eyebrows is enjoying 'wind in the hair' motoring! 8)

my old polo was cool.. full length leccy roof..

i'd like a cab, i can afford a clipper, but i want something with a bit more oomf...


might start a fund for a cheapo mk3 one to come up so can plumb a vr6 in :)

don't u start :P

a sportline's a bit too much for a project unless can get a cheaop one (< 700 quid)  which is why if i were spending a couple K's i'd rather go the mk3 cabrio + vr6 route :)
