Am I the only person who nearly pukes when they see P-platers cruising with the top down and their hands in the air in new BMW convertibles? My guess is: probably not. So why let the rich kids have all the fun? Road trips are just as good in a Torana or Corolla. And would you want to drive through Scarborough without a roof on anyway?
It’s way better when there’s a movie at the end of the winding coastal trail, so luckily Perth Festival are putting on a tasty array of festival films again at Joondalup Pines. First up on the outdoor screen is Tomboy, in the tradition of movies about French gender-bending pre-adolescents. You can pack your own basket, arrive early to watch the ducks on the teeny university lake and all the hot uni students heading on the reverse road trip journey to Metros Freo.
And if you really need a convertible, there’s always the theft option, although it’s been done before. Better still, indulge in a bit of DIY.
