    From that picture I'm assuming this was when you were living in Scotland as that house design is very typical for here? then there is the grey sky?

    I regret to have to tell you, this was more than just a Mid Life crises, A convertible in Scotland??? ye wur richt AYFH?

    The 2005 EX did have an electric sunroof and it is still working even today. however it was only ever used 2 or 3 times in its lifetime in Scotland? actually I had forgotten it did have this and raked out an old picture of it just confirm this.

    One thing I did forget to mention, for around 30yrs none of my cars were worked on by Mechanics all servicing and maintenance was done by myself, having a box of Elastoplast for my skinned knuckles I would tackle anything ( a job is never done right unless you bled yourself twice) over time this had to have been a huge saving to me? around the age of 50 I stopped this, soon after getting one Volvo with two years Main dealers warranty this was to cost me around £700 in servicing and an MOT in the warranty period this was all prefabricated nonsense to bump up my bill? I had to consider another option and was lucky to find a Mechanic that did some moonlighting in his evenings and weekends.

    Neist Point is a superb location for spotting whales, basking sharks, dolphins, and porpoises, and the Point is home to a huge variety of seabirds, including guillemots, razorbills, shags, and gannets. It is also one of the best places on Skye to watch the sunset.

    Neist Point has basalt rock formations similar to those at the famous Giant's Causeway in Antrim. Geologists think that the Giant's Causeway rock formations continue underwater, across the sea, and emerge at Neist Point.

    Yeah that was Langbank, I love Scotland but yes it's grey :D

    I was a member of the S2KJocks, the rule was lid down whatever the weather :D the S2000 had a fantastic heating system, went everywhere with that lid down, we only put it up if the weather became torential and we did tours of Scotland that took us to places like the picture Mike posted at the opening of this thread.

    There is one below of my friend Segundo's working visit to Scotland back in 2006 we took him on a wild ride around the extremes of the Scottish landscape he loved it, Seg is a programmer like me and obviously Filipino.

    Your car, yes the lovely estate version I did consider getting this model but in the end I wanted the slightly newer one, they are both great cars.
