You'll ruffle your hair!

In the 2 years I owned my TT roadster, I NEVER used the top cover. Should
not have any effect except maybe that your top may accumulate dust/leaves
that settle in that area when the top is down.

What's a "top cover"? The "hood" (as we say over here - the cloth bit that
keeps the rain off, as opposed to the "bonnet").

Only driven top-down to 148mph - top tip is to turn the radio up before you
hit around 135mph, as it gets a bit noisy and, at that speed, you should be
paying attention to things other than the ICE!.

You also lose the bass, Bose notwithstanding. Top-up driving limited to
about 75mph (if it's too wet to have the top down, then it's too wet to play
dodge-the-idiot ;o)

P.S. Note to law enforcement peeps - not in the UK (never!) and where legal
in Europe. Y'know, where the cheap cigarettes come from ;o)

That gives room for a helluva lot more luggage (well, comparatively) for The
Trek. Thanks, G.

That cloth thing up there = top in this colony. Your hood. You guessed
right.

Will try to keep it under 148. Police here get very nervous above those
speeds, and they'd feel the need to talk to me about mine.

If I tried that in the UK, I'd probably get shot ;o)

I gather from your other post that it's the plastic tonneau that you were
also asking about? It's just there to take up most of your boot [trunk]
space and make the car look pretty..

It /will/ fit in the cabin behind the seats, but - IIRC - interferes with
the cupholders and blocks access to the storage bins.

The hood stays where it's put, even at high speed, and the glass deflector
also makes a very noticable difference (implicit assumption: that you have
the electric hood package, mandatory over here in the UK. No experience of
the manual hood)

Last point - don't forget that there is a *lot* of space at the very back of
the boot [trunk] for things that aren't very tall. Just watch that you don't
end up polishing the rear of the car with your trousers when you're
loading/unloading.. ;o)

Confirmed by Audi in Torrance, California. In writing. Sounds solid.

Thanks again. Yes, that little space at the rear of the "bootrunk" (New
English) is handy. I have a warning lamp in its box, and two large map
guides of the Los Angeles area jammed in there. They don't move, are quiet,
and don't slide around the rest of the vast (!) space wrecking themselves --
when I hasten around a corner, for instance.
