Hi All,

With all this talk about bugeye hard tops, It brought to mind a
question.  Where do you put the hard top on a bugeye when not in use?

I can't see it fitting behind the seat and over the hump.  In a square
body it might fit in the small trunk.  

I might be interested in one if I could still take my top off on the
nice winter days and store it behind the seat.  In California even the
winters are like summer.  That is why I moved here, I've lived back
East, North, and South (Sorry lost my head).  In the rain are they drier
then the soft tops?  I would expect them to be warmer in the snow.
