Guys, you are tugging me in many directions.
Mrs KenA is very much in favour of the Roadster because it is a better drive for her (removes the hot feet problem and adds she can drive it - both very big plusses over the Plus 8).
Having tweaked the Plus 8 a bit recently, it is a much nicer drive for me but the negatives (above) are a big sway. More help needed!!
