Can one drive safely at speed hood up and without Sidescreens?
Peter, Last summer on our trip to the South of France with temperatures between 38 and 40C much of the time, we drove the Roadster with the hood up and sidescreens off for many miles. I was a little worried about strain on the hood and screen, but it was fine, at speeds up to the French speed limit.
it was certainly safe.
It saved us from sunstroke, and the rush of air kept us tolerably cool, although in towns and villages when we slowed down, it was very hot.
Give it a go, and let us know what you think.

It's a long time since I had a pint of Hooky it's a real nice one.

Took the car out for a run...without the sidescreens... The car looks even more timeless, but the noise level above 50 is very much greater. How many peole drive regularly without Sidescreens? Can one drive safely at speed hood up and without Sidescreens?
Never driven with them!
