Ideal cruising temperature

it is in the middle of winter down here, but today it was warm and sunny. hence came off the roof. temperature was reading 18 degrees celcius, perfect.
australian sun on clear blue sky days can get burning hot even though the air is relatively cool.

what your ideal cruising temperature you noticed so far !

18 deg C ?

Lucky you.

I wish we had more of the extremely few 18 deg days here in South Florida. Temps are usually around 28 except for the summer month when we get 33+ temps and high humidity. Most people drive their cars with the top up right now because its simply too hot.

For me, anything below 28 C is positively top down.

SL500 and A-CLASS
Wife does not want sun on her, so the only time I can get to have the top down is at evening or anytime the moon is up.
