Same down here. Had 34 with the top down around Marseille today. I went to Toulon & in 15mins saw 5 EOS. Most I've seen in a day other than at dealers. Summer started Wednesday here, up to then we've had huge thunderstorms - wettest in 20 years I've been told.

I agree that any fine day counts in UK, especially where I came from in the north of England, 1000 feet up in the penines!! The local weather forecast here promises lovely weather for the next few days, and it's going to be around 32 today. I'm off for a trip this afternoon I think, off with the top down is the best way to deal with it. :)

SO roof is down in eh morning to drive 25kms to work, adn down when driving back home in the evening.. It is also down when taking a drive for sports or quick byte outside o the office, over lunch... ;-)

Limousin is a superb place to drive, long roads with hardly any traffic and also the long twisting roads with lots of bends to have some fun, lucky there is so little traffic!!!! I have been to Grenoble last October, drove down to the South of France from Haute Vienne, along the Corniche and then up the Route Napoleon to Grenoble, then back home, the weather was bril and so was the driving, you live in a beautiful place.

Any day that it is not raining and the temperature is 10C/50F is top down day IF you have heated seats!
You must be getting soft in the USA, you don't need heated seats, just wear a coat and have the heater on, it comes on automatically in my Eos anyway!! Guess it doesn't really matter as long as you enjoy your Eos, great if you can have the top down as well.

Driving fun has been outlawed in the UK!
Great driving roads you have; the photo on my Avatar is taken along the Route Napoleon. One of the world's best driving roads!
