When I got my first Roadster running, I had no soft top and no hard top.
Just a tonneau cover. At the time, I lived outside of DC and during the
winter (a few snow storms) I would drive top down wearing a driving cap,
driving gloves and a bomber jacket. The heater was cranking, so my feet
were warm, but from about midtorso up, I was chilly. But boy, was it fun!!
