Appreciate the response. No rudeness intended. And… Sweet ride. Sort top?

We’re all old on this thread and probably hiding the cotton under the hood. Can’t believe we’re talking about those dream rides we used to work in. Can’t believe we survived them.

The first pkg car I climbed in was a 1958 P400. Froze to death. A plywood bulkhead door painted gray. The floorboard holes for the pedals were 3 times bigger than necessary. Inside lights were like a flashlight with a half dead battery. Brakes pulled everywhere. I thought I was in hog heaven.

It's an 2006. 70k miles. It's a soft top. As far as I know, they never put a hard top on a new roadster they sold in America in 2006. The coupe came out that year (hard top). You could buy a top from Europe until about 10 years ago. I found one in a junk yard in MN. 2 years ago. It's a blast to drive.

Those P400's were death traps. There were only a few still around when I started and they were just barely avoiding the scrapyard.

They stuck me out in the country the first 3 years in one. Got a new 500. It was like having a different job.

The first bunch of 500's were a lot better than the 400's but it took a couple of years to work out the bugs. The later ones were better.

They had one they would roll out at peak for the first couple years when I started.

Terrible in snow

Terrible in snow

They changed the tires and it helped. Still nothing like the old high step 600's and 800's that did pretty well in snow. Not like the later trucks that get stuck in an inch of snow.

Go back to bed--I'm already retired.

All you needed was a bottle opener and a straw and you were in business.
