Whistle when driving >95m/h (150km/h)

The whistling sound i hear when i'm driving 95m/h or faster?
Does everyone experiences this sound, because of the roof construction, or is it just me?
(and no i'm not talking about the breaks this time).

Ok then!
It's very loud at 135...
I'll ask the garage next week then. I already have my appointment made so i just add this to the list!

Good luck withthe dealer - i complained about wind noise that only occured over 110 mph and was told that:

a) I shouldnt be going that fast
b) Because of a) above, the car is not designed with that speed in mind.

I replied that this was surely racism against german drivers and anyone else who fancied a razz on the auto bahhhhhhhhhhhhn. They said they would look into it but i dont think they did anything!

Yes, i'll ask them. But i don't want them to fiddle to much with the roof though... ain't got too bad a leak up there for now

If the car's not designed with that speed in mind, why is its quoted top speed 126? Why is it geared to reach that speed? Etc, etc, etc. Why, in fact, don't they advertise it as "a funky, fun, convertible that is not meant to exceed 70mph"?

Of course, I must point out that we've all only ever travelled at above 70mph on private racing tracks or outside the UK.

i note wind noise but always attributed it to the grab handles on the boot....
