That is the think with vinyl wraps, you can change it as frequently as you chose. One lad did a tartan wrap on his 911 whilst we were on tour in Scotland.
Classic Timberlands actually, for more than 30 years. I am qualified to say they are now cheap crap compared to what they once were and so I have bought my last pair. Yet another trusted quality item that turned to crap thanks to greed.
More likely I am going to get my Redwings.
I am not clear why someone would buy a folding Tin Top when they really wanted a folding Soft Top anyway. It’s a bit like buying a Van when you wanted an Estate Car and then setting about modifying itUnfortunately that is exactly what an SLK is, a Coupe Convertible
Might be worth giving Rockports a look. Had a few pairs and they've lasted phenomenally well.Classic Timberlands actually, for more than 30 years.

So I might give the cuban heels a look
I’ve always thought that, that is exactly why they have a hard top. They want the coupé look not a convertible look
Yea - in the African sun, those roofs only lasted about 2 years.
Even my wife has commented on how different the car feels and she is not interested in cars.Agreed, very different feel and look - 2 cars for the price of one
I bought my first pair of Redwings (the original USA ones) back in the 70’s they lasted me many years of hard use. I’d buy another pair but I have many other barely worn shoes including some expensive ones (Church & RM Willaims) that I don’t wear and will outlast me.Classic Timberlands actually, for more than 30 years.

Which is about 6 months longer than the Viva bodywork did in the UK...
IIRC a friend had a Lime Green VIVA GT (2.5L ?) which was pretty nippy in it’s day. Luckily, in the J’oburg highveld, cars never rusted but vinyl roofs, red paint and those plastic aftermarket sun roofs were a big no-no.Which is about 6 months longer than the Viva bodywork did in the UK...
Just had a look, they did a 2.5 in SA locally built with a Chevrolet engine
Thought so. Another friend had the “Chev” Firenza with a 2.5. He spent more money on new clutches than any other maintenance. My wife (then girlfriend) got quite good at driving it without a clutch (after we’d consumed too much fun). Start it in 1st gear and then time it just right.
General Motors built a few Firenzas with V8's as homologation specials as well. One or two got to the UK.
DMs for me! My first pair is over 25 years old and still showing no signs of wear!
I wore DM shoes for years. Had a black pair and ox-blood pair for work. That was back in the 80s.
The soles on mine wore out.
Don’t buy the new Far East made ones then… Solovair (Sole-of-air…)
were the manufactures of DM’s in theUK and still manufacture under the Solovair brand.
