Fran and I just took our BJ7 out to the All British Field Meet held at the Van Dusen Botanical Gardens in Vancouver this past long weekend (some 450 British automobiles in a beautiful, low-key, environment. Delightful, and highly recommended). We've owned the car for decades but it's only been really complete for about a year and this is the first major, sustained, trip (2200 km or so (1370 miles) we've undertaken. Weather varied from leaving Calgary with the top and windows up and the heater (and fan) on to keep the windows clear. Coming back today was sunburn time, with the last several days being top down all the way.
What is the wisdom of those with a lot more miles as to how best to minimize wind buffeting/road noise/fatigue at highway speeds? It seems that there's a few combinations available:
- convertible top and both windows up
- top up and one or both windows down
- top down and both windows up
- top down and one or both windows down
- if no passenger, then the tonneau in place and one or both windows down
Thanks, Doug
