Default I need your help!

In April, we are ahving the new 1 series convertible launch, we have just been asked by marketing if we would like to have a 'theme' for the launch!

Now, my idea would be to have a tropical theme as its a convertible, but the thought of wearing a bikini and a grass skirt really doesnt appeal to me!

Anyone got any ideas??

How about classic 60's cad look when they all drove convertables, blokes dress up as terry thomas with cravat's n go around saying "ding-dong", women wearing headscarves and mini-skirts.

I actually quite like that, which is odd, because generally I don't like many convertibles

Shit colour though

wearing a bikini and a grass skirt really doesnt appeal to me!
Sales would do well though I bet.

Being serious, I think the tropical theme is about the best you'll get?

Believe it or not, the colour on these pictures is cashmere silver, which is also the colour we have had most orders for!

Tropical theme is prob good. But as you say a little predictable


Just trying to think of something else is hard that relates to convertible. Will have a think.

I don't know many that look good with roof up and down, something always just looks wrong

Don't get me wrong, that amount of money would be spent elsewhere, but if someone gave me one I'd say thanks.


Probably
