I find the state of the road surfaces and the amount of potholes a pain,but I don’t get too flustered about all the other crap,or get road rage. It’s easier to keep calm and go with the flow.
To be honest its only the bikes that get my goat, the rest I just put down to knobhead drivers being human

Convertibles driven by blokes is a another one of my Pet hates.
Me & a serious ex-girlfriend were sat outside a pub one summers eve that had a spectacular view of a tight yet fast bend, very popular spot in its day.
Some bloke, with the obligatory blonde riding shotgun, came howling 'round in his TR6 & left his wig in the middle of the road
We burnt it with great ceremony in the ashtray

The best advice I ever listened to from my first driving instructor was : “Never buy a car with more seats than doors & never buy a car with more doors than wheels. Don’t even think about anything without a roof”.
2 seater, soft top sports cars are for the “LOOK AT ME” brigade, who by their very nature should not be allowed out on the road.

This is what i’m on about thoughts please…
If your not worried about your wig baldbloke, go for it
the unofficial police brigade get on my nerves…
your driving along in he roadworks and its a 50mph so the car driver thinks its a good idea to plod through at 45mph, ok fair enough move out of my way ive got work to do but know they just sit there holding you up.
car drivers again… one this week got a good flash off the lights and blast of the horn, I driving along the M5 minding my own business enjoying the day and this BMW swerves in front and slams on flidling with his phone or something to missing the point I was there.
narrow lanes scare the zb out of me
the M60 at Manchester is a prime example.

I’d say don’t do it mate.
Don’t put yourself up for ridicule & the embarrassment that goes with it.
An Audi A4 4 door saloon is a very fine car & a wise choice if you can find a good one at the right price.
A cabriolet one would only suit the missus to match your Aston Martin.
If it’s to be your main car, then the whole world will be making the sign of the 4 knuckle shuffle at ya’, & quite rightly so.
Are you a truck driver or a hairdresser?

Ok i get the mes

people who drive on your offside when nearing the end of a crawler lane

Perfectly legal though.
Lorry drivers who sit up my arse.
Other truck drivers who pass me leaving me standing when I’m doing 47mph

Added, “when I am doing the speed limit”
I will move into a layby for a line of cars behind me (for obvious reasons) but a wagon pushing me along the A49 wanting me to go much over 43mph will have to suffer or talk to me

bad driving though.
The owner drivers and employed drivers pulling TNT trailers on their way or back from their night depots.
I have seen terrible driving,no indicators and flat out on all road types and full speed up to the roundabout then slam on the anchors.
Heaven help you if you get in their way and hold them up.
They should apply to be fire appliance drivers.
Most of the trailers are beaten up and abused by not my property attitude drivers.
Tuffnels are the same as above.

Convertibles are ace. I had a very early Eunos Roadster for about a month and I’ve never had so much fun on the road. Not only did I get the full benefit of the summer, but I also got to belt around corners on the way home from work at 3am. I was too busy enjoying myself to worry about what insecure people thought of my ■■■■■■■■■ or manliness.

Definately embrace convertibles, but at least dress the part
