I was filling up at a garage when this gorgeous blonde pulled up at the pump next to me in a standard 206.

So I gave her a cheeky wink

as I paid for my petrol and got back in the car. I was all ready to wheelspin away when I realised I couldn't find my keys.

Checked my pockets. Nothing.

Then I hear someone knock on the window and I look up to see this blonde beckoning me to wind down the window.

As I do so she kindly informs me that my keys are 'in the petrol cap sitting on the back of the car.'

She wasn't best amused.

That will teach me...

Undo roof clips
Press roof button - get beeping
Realise boot blind not lowered
Get out, try to open boot, realise key still in ignition
Get key, unlock & open boot, lower blind, close boot
Get back in through driver's door - BANG HEAD ON ROOF CLIP
OOUUUCHHH!

My most embarassing moment was when I was driving down past kirra QLD around 6pm with the top down in pretty heavy traffic in the inside lane and without warning rain came bucketing down hosing out the leather inside the car and beside me was a bus full of pensioners pointing fingers at me and the bloody thing made it difficult to pull over to put the top back up again, every part of the car (apart from what was sheltered from the windscreen overhang) was saturated including the electrics in the centre console.

And there is also the constant turning on of the wipers when going to indicate because the CC and one other si have are the only one out my 9 that have them on the left hand side

Took it around to my parents, had only just stopped raining so first opportunity to try the roof out. Flipped the two locks backward and pressed the button. Windows down, boot opened fully, there was a small movement of the roof then "bleep". Tried again. "bleep". Tried to reverse it "bleep". Ignition off/on (which of course the manual says never do!). Same.

There was a five-second "oh my god the car's only three hours old and I've broken it already" moment until I realised I had released the clips but not the catches. A further move backwards on both clips and it went up fine...
