well now it seems like the soulless killjoys who want to stop anyone from having anything that might even be thought of as fun have come up with another way to put a downer on us - what price the government (yours and ours!) will try and find a way to use this in the name of 'safety'?

BBC NEWS | Health | Convertibles 'bad for the ears'

 

Excuse me?!? Say that again, I didn't quite hear you.

Thank goodnes it was the BBC and not FOX or I would be worried.


BTW the first officer to pull me over for not wearing ear protection in my vert had better approach with his weapon in hand. There are simply some things worth fighting for.

Roadster with a stick
And the top down
The way it should be and always has been, since 1965

 

What............?

 

1964 Corvair Monza Convertible.....Ralph Nader's Legacy - Kill the Convertible Before It Kills You

 

If you get a ticket for that does that mean I am going to have to put ear plugs in for when I have my stereo on?

 

Not if you don't want to.

Just be careful in Georgia - the "Loud Noise" tickets are expensive in some jurisdictions.

 

waylander, you Brits have been driving around in so many different roadsters for so many decades I'm surprised any of you can hear at all! And you do it in the rain with the top down - or so James May would have us all believe.

Screw 'em.....I'll drive with my top down all I want. And I'll listen to loud rock music too. While driving with the top down!!

 

lol it's true about all weathers... years ago I used to own an X1/9 and the roof was off that in all weather unless it was raining cats and dogs... actually left the roof at home one lovely day to drive to London - while there the Heavens opened must've been quite a surreal sight seing a topless X1/9 chatting to a traditional London double decker bus driver in the pouring rain
