I've been in a few convertables, but I think the 2+2 is quieter in terms of
wind noise...  but I'm completely deaf in my right ear and mostly deaf in
my left so I'll still be driving around with the roof down past an active
airport with busy roadworks :)

Good tip, will put some 'plugs in my car. It's only when you pull up  
and realise how loud the radio had to be to overcome the wind noise  
that you realise how bad it was.  I don't dare think what the noise  
level is if you go over the speed they quoted!

2009-10-07 Thread John Woodward

How many of us drive 2+2's & H4's with the windows down on long
jjourneys ?

Quote from the report "But they also found motorists can cut the noise
by rolling up the windows when driving with the top down.

This simple measure cut the level to 82 decibels"

Long journeys in 7 type roadsters (Extremes etc.) without the
sidesceens on is quite unpleasant but very exhilarating !

I drove from Sussex to Scotland overnight with the top down all the way.

And John O Groats to Lands End non stop on the EE24 run with the roof 
down most of the way (except when it rained).
