(Oh brother... here I go opening a can of worms!)

I just discovered this 10 minutes ago, so I'm certainly open to being schooled. That being said, here goes:

A roadster is a convertible but a convertible is not necessarily a roadster. Roadster defines a vehicle that has an open top, two doors, two seats, and is made for sport. A convertible is simply a passenger car that can be driven with or without a roof in place. Cabriolet is just a foreign word for convertible. What the Brits call a DHC (drophead coupe) is a four-seated sports car with two doors, a soft top folding roof and a sloping rear. Note the difference between DHC & roadster on the Jaguar XK150: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_XK150#Gallery

You have been here long enough to remember the last time this came up...................
You get NO credit for being original.

 

You give my memory far too much credit! But thanks for your confidence in my mental capability. 😁 If anyone knows the link to this prior thread please attach it.

 

 

The problem is remembering the title or enough content to get the search 'engine' to find it.
The search here is abysmal. To many posters here title their thread in idiotic ways: "What ya think about this" or "Problem", if they used a title like YOU did it would be easier.

This is why I edit so many thread titles.
