Nope, just singing in the Pagoda!  Which would you rather do?

Mike,

With the hard or soft top in place ? :)

With the soft top in place on my way home from Verginia in 2013, I did get a bit wet ~grin~ However, I still smiled all the way home.

Oh, I don't think it matters!  In any case his soft top was stowed in the photo and his hard top was presumably on the garage, so we may infer his preference at the time might have been to sing so all the world could enjoy the serenade as he passed by...
