Nah the Audi is a blokes car, thats fine. Same with the Jags and Aston Martin convertiables, TVRs...Mercedes are usually quite feminine tho.

I am planning to get a Ibiza FR/Lotus Elise 111S in 30 months time! Gotta love long term planning

Well, I was going to get one in about septemeber next year, but I thought whats the point in getting a cab heading straight into winter? Better wait another 6 months, hence the 18 month plan thing.

You'd be surprised how long it takes to organise saving + finding the right car + researching said car, you can't just do it on a whim unless you wanna get ripped off or make a big mistake.
My point is a hell of a lot can happen in 18 months.

Very true, which is why its just an idea of mine, not a rigid plan.

My brother has an M3 cab and i dont think its girlie. He thinks he's cool which is all that matters :wink:

IMO ALOT of cabs are very girlie but it also depends on colour...

Long term plan? Well i'm looking at getting a beetle in 60 months :wink: :biggrin:
Nah, my ex had a BMW cabrio, he's such a pretty boy anyway, though.

Depends, they are quite feminine. However, depends on you as a person. If you're quite effeminate anyway, then you'll be good to go.

I saw the picture of the Audi and wasn't convinced, reminded me of a 40 year old woman who throws he shopping in the back of the car. I like the Porshe Boxster though! Lol. Same with the Peugeot 206 cabriolet, girls car.

Porsche Boxster is a roadster, not a cabriolet.

You know your stuff! Lol.
imo most convertibles area bit girly. Peoples opinions will differ, but a significant proportion of people will always think your audi cabriolet is girly.

convertibles that no-one can say are girly at all:

Porsche 911 (must be black) or its girly
BMW 6 series (again must be dark)
maybe 1 or 2 more

astons can look camp

:eek: :eek: If its all image you could get much better cars.

Go for a 80s 911 softtop. Now thats got image :cool:

Anyway, a howling RS4 V8 is much more impressive than a floppy roof that ruins the handling, security and noise of the car.
