A convertible, or #dropthetop, gives you access. Access to the palette of beautiful sights, sounds and smells- one moment you could be cruising by heritage sites while the fleeting, drool-worthy scent of Penang Char Koay Teow lures your nose in. As they blur by and the smokey scent of street food subsides, magical beaches and rich rainforests will start to unfurl. It is allowing the driver and passengers to fully experience the diversity & magic of the place; driving on the same road you always have has never been such an immersive experience.

A common misconception about convertibles that gets lobbed around frequently is that people think once you get a #DropTheTop, it remains dropped for the rest of eternity, perpetually, and forever.

We like to tell our clients to just think of it like going for a walk in the park. Would you like to have a walk when its’ blistering hot after lunch, or when it pours and thunders? The answer is no. You’d much rather catch some distance in a breezy morning, or after a long day of work, or after dinner. That’s exactly how you use a convertible- you use it when the situation calls for it.

Owning a #DropTheTop is beautiful in its’ simplicity & versatility- you are always 10 or so seconds away from enjoying yourself when you see fit.

Much like the Rolex or Omega you wear on your wrist, the outfit you wear on a night out, it’s a conversation starter, a communication of persona. See a black, stealthy low-slung BMW Z4? Immediate impression: “oohhh, that’s quite sexy, very sleek and cool”. See a Porsche Boxster in bright Racing Yellow and open Sports Exhaust valves? “Wow, overcompensating”.

#DropTheTop can be an occasion when you want it to. Dress the part, with outfits to complement the car, and you’ve got yourself one grandiose entrance.

Once you go convertible, you’ll always have one in the fleet. Without realizing, you begin to take the long way home, just to drive on a stretch of undiscovered road, where there are less traffic and more corners, less urgency to get from point A to B, and more desire to get from A to B, but in a more enjoyable way to you. Your passion for these cars will ooze through smiles & childish giggles. Your friends and family will doubt your sanity, but that’s because they don’t own a #dropthetop, they need you to take them on a ride- pop the #dropthetop cherry, so to write.

Now that you’ve thoroughly convinced yourself you need own a convertible at least once in your life, and you’re doing your digits to see whether or not you can own one of the most historic examples of wealth and prestige. The good news is, its’ not all that unaffordable.

Sure, #dropthetop has always been associated with the ultimate luxury, the unattainable, the “I-need-to-hit-the-jackpot-to-buy-this”.
