It looks like the driver has thought to himself "OMG, the sun is out. I had better pull over and get the top down!" :)

Either that or he's realised that the IoW isn't the sort of place where one needs to keep the roof closed for fear of having locals throwing rotten fruit into the car? :D
That actually looks like an exceptionally straight example of the breed there, I like the metallic paint and more than that I like the wheels. Are they Dunlops?

Yeah I think so John, I agree the wheels and paint combo does look nice together, it had one headlamp shroud which was red though - which kinda gave it the appearance of looking in the mirror "the morning after"...not that I know what that looks like you understand? :P
