Are you still trying to get this done, I don't suppose the interested people would be willing to chip in on a rental car? I just got my roadster and I am only ~3 hrs from there. I'm not really interested in this kit but I could be convinced to take one for the team.
Why would you want to open/ close the roof while your moving anyway?!? Does it at least have a speed limit or can you close it at 70mph on the highway and watch it fly away?
