If it actually was that fast I would have taken a Targa. Far too slow for a function to be standing completely still with extra space behind you. But the Targa is so gorgeous. It was a struggle for me till I picked cab in the end.

Definitely sped up. It takes a full 19 seconds to go up or down.

I hate when I gamble on this at a red light and lose!

Actually, your head is covered by second 11.

The rest of the time is for the rear window section to slide back into place and the windows to roll up.

And to think Porsche owners once had to lift their targa roof with their hands...

And the engines were air cooled. How barbaric.

Trying doing a fire drill pulling the boot cover (have to get out and run around the car) and putting the top up on a 993.

I did this on the way home from work when I got caught in traffic and the cop directing traffic was loling and asked me for a ride.

I wonder if he really wanted 'white' which is right beside yellow on the config

That car in white would like gorgeous!

Really barely any extra space needed. Who gets that's close to something on their ***!
