There's got to be something closer to Type R performance with selective 4x4 when you need it

For me it just seems a massive compromise for the rest of the year, the same reason I wouldn't buy a soft top for (traditionally) the one week of summer and having to put up with the added road noise for the rest of the year.

With my soft top is generally down if its not raining, sometimes its down when it is! As long as I stay above 40MPH I stay dry . It helps that the MG has a nuclear furnace for a heater that starts blowing out hot air within a couple of minutes. Some of my best drives have been on a cold crisp winters morning with the sun shining, its glorious.

I'm talking about it as a second car, I wouldn't be getting rid of my Type R!

Amazing the number of people who say that, and they are usually people who haven't owned a soft top. Really it isn't that bad.
Often also the people who have never owned an Italian car and think they break down all the time. When I had an open top Italian car I got a lot of tripe from blokes, lots of smiles from girls though .
