I can't speak to the coupe, but a little more insight into the roadster based on the recent trip to the London Cobra Show.

About 110 miles each way; have to stop half way to strech legs and give the ears a rest. We left the folding chairs at home, and bought a new set in Columbus knowing we would have to give them away on Sunday, along with a new cooler.

Clothes for two were packed in 4 grocery plastic bags - car cover takes up quite a bit of what space there is.

Forget about conversation, which may or may not be a bad thing depending on your travel companion

Open top and questionable wipers (Lucas) lead to stress when we saw big dark clouds looming ahead of us, and all the traffic coming at us with their headlights on... just like a bike, you start looking for overpasses to park under (just in case).

And it's always fun to have some yahoo pull up next to you and lay on the horn and give subsequent thumbs up.

Al in all, the car is a blast, but not what I would call a relaxing trip in the country.

The coupes were starting to look pretty attractive as an option by the time we got home.
