Where did you buy that time machine?

larryn · 03-23-2008, 05:21 PM

Car looks great! There really is a shimmer to the new top material, and it looks somewhat like denim, as reported.

Can I ask for pics of the window switches, since your rear windows retract too? Can they be operated independently?

That last shoot looks really great! Nice combination of materials.

I will try and get some window switch photos in the next day or two.

There are four independent switches for the windows and one master switch that rolls them all up after the top goes back up. It is in the position of the rear window lock switch that is included on this vehicle. All windows drop when the top goes down...

Was a joke. Check the date on your camera.

colonel1961 · 03-23-2008, 06:31 PM

Did you mean the date shown as 4/23 versus 3/23?

Is the radio display really blue or you have a polarizing filter on the lens. Can't imagine it changes the color though, not a optics guy.

Not an optics guys, per se, but I do know that the display is a dark/black backgroung with red LEDs. The lens covering the display must be polarized because when I wear my polarized sunglasses, either the radio or the climate display is visible at a time, but never both, i.e., one is always out of phase with the other, and I generally have to tilt my head to see the radio display.

Not a big deal, but it does seem poorly engineered from an optics perspective...

Is that taupe leatherette?? If it is, would you consider it more beige or grey?

colonel1961 · 03-24-2008, 01:30 PM

It's Taupe Boston Leather. It is more beige to me or 'closer to putty' according to my wife... The photos are rather saturated, unfortunately. It is a nice enough color in person, kinda pleasing...
