Default i never tried but can you put your top up while moving?

Some cars you have to be in neutral on the shifter (not moving), some allow you to raise it based on speed (up to c.a. 25 MPH). How is my 2003 XKR designed/safeguarded??

30 mph in reverse? Is this data from experience? If so, I'd sure like to hear about the test.

I don't think he was being entirely serious.

By the way Felipe, I LOVE the picture of your ride.

Cheers,

If you are lowering it and go above 10MPH it will then continue to go down.

Though if you hit 145mph before it gets down first you may take off (the roof that is)

Then again I don't want to do 145mph with 1 hand on the roof button and only 1 on the wheel!

It's a shame you have to hide that circuit board. Is there some other way to mount it to keep it visible?

I should keep the photo of your circuit board low res, otherwise the French will be making knock-offs

LOL Actually, they are probably waiting for him to post his layout drawings for free on "that other forum".

By the way, WhiteXKR, your board is indeed a work of art, but I notice that the center 2.7 K resistor in the group of 3 next to the Lock Pulse LED is installed backwards. I hope the Quality Control in your factory improves before you manufacture mine.

Cheers,

'Art grade' boards will cost you extra!
