I love driving in the sunshine with the panoramic roof open and windows down. B&O pumping.

Any idea what's more fuel efficient?

Driving with the Air con on, or driving with the window open and Air con OFF?

It all depends on the speed. Low speed would be windows down and higher speed would be AC. Not sure where the line is to what you chose!!

Never really drove my last car with the windows down much, I even locked the rear ones to stop the kids opening them. If it was hot the A/C was on if cold the heater was on....

As for pumping the B&O out with the windows down, it wasn't my style.
But each to there own.....

You wanna give it a go. Nothing beats a burn through the countryside in a nice clean car on a lovley sunny day. Get the fresh air flowing, the DRL's glowing and the B&O pumpin'. Yum!!

I'll be bringing todays newborn son home in a day or two. I reckon it'll be A/C rather than windows open when going up the M11

Test out quattro on a FWD car with a 2 day old baby in it?

Indeed, you are the owner of a new baby. Congratulations.

With talk of new car's and them often referred to "baby's" i thought you were picking up your new avant q. .... Still.. a baby is the next best thing i suppose. ;)

hehehe - I hadn't even considered that interpretation of my post.

My new arrival's emissions are far worse that a 2.0Tq Avant :aargh4:
