Kool!!! actually i just bought a F-one 180 TT >>>>
(twin tip) and tomorrow i get a 15.1 mach1 f-one. thats a huge wing but for now till the season really picks up its perfect!
i have been flying parafoils and 4 lines for years but my friend is finally getting into it so we are kitesurfing now.
i'm in Miami, only a few hours away from you, i love the sand in sarasota, beautifull, how are the winds though??? We gotta hook up sometime and do a TT Kite surfing tour. once the season picks ups we will definitely head up north.
now i need a rack cus that board does not fit in the car!!!!

I got an early US roadster and have been following this Forum closely since. I recall none.
Personally I think the aluminum roll hoops are cute but would fold in a bad rollover.
Laurel and I are conservative drivers. We enjoy the power and hanlding of the TTR, but we are the gran-touring types rather than the push-it-to-the-limits kinds of drivers. That's what being 40ish and having 3 young kids will do to you.

My Kites...
I have a Naish AR5 15.5m2(4-line), a slingshot 8.8 Torque(2-line),those are my inflatables. I have a 9m Concept air foil, Slingshot 5 meter ram-air foil, 4.9M Blade ram air, 5.9m Slingshot stealth. I have been "learning" for about 2 years now, I never seem to get much time on the water...too many other commitments. Do you know Rick Iossi? or any of the other FKSA guys in Miami? I have the factory rack on my TT it works great, you don't need the "surfboard holder" it has a piece of rubber that slides in the top of the rack and will hold a board nice and secure if strapped down. I can fit 2 boards side by side.
Love to hook up and kitesurf with ya sometime.

ROADSTER!
You can read here about all the coupe owners who occasionally wish they had a roadster. I have yet to see a roadster owner who goes, "Gosh, just this once I wish I had a coupe."
I live in Southern California, though. The only time I put the top up is if it's raining. And, yes, I have seen "the snowflake" while driving with the top down.
That said, the only reason I'd consider a coupe is if I lived someplace where it snowed alot and I had to leave my car outside. Wet snow can do a real number on a soft-top and the existance of TT hard-tops is questionable.
Besides...
a) <A HREF="http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/features/0208scc_scared20_zoom.jpg">Chicks dig convertibles.</A>
b) No one will ever think your car is a VW Beetle.
c) You're not looking out those itty-bitty windows.
