Female here. You mean soft top doesn't equal convertible? Oops.

He is looking at the Merc E class convertible. Is that soft top or hard top? All I know is that you press a button and the roof disappears into the boot.

I think all soft tops are convertible... the VX had a hard top that you could take off for the summer months and replace with a soft top. What I can say with certainty is that there are no ( intentionally) convertible trucks.

Soft top defenders might not be. My old series three soft top was such as to practically not a convertible. I never, ever tried or worried about it.

I think Defenders are in a class of their own! Possibly not what I think of as a mid-life crisis vehicle, bieng more of a practical vehicle, though of course, it depends on your mid-life and crisis.

Mid life is thirty five ( half of three score years and ten.:D) my sibling once got really upset when she was in her thirties and she asked if I thought she was middle aged and I said 'yes'. I no longer feel 'young' just less wise! I am in crisis territory on my scale and, yes, I am feeling a bit like doing something radical yet too confounded by the self imposed responsibilities.

FWIW, given the choice I don't usually use a company that uses hotmail/gmal as the email address. I find it a bit sus and also perhaps unprofessional.

Pure prejudice of course.

One you register a domain odds are you can have any [EMAIL="email@domain.com"]email@domain.com[/EMAIL] address and forward it to your gmail or whatever so no reason not to have a more 'profesisonal' email address - having a gmail/hotmail only almost certainly identifies you as not being a scammer.

Solid meetings until now but only one more to do today and then it is just write up some notes/minutes....

I think it makes us eternally middle aged rather than young.
