Great for the environment

Exactly just a ‘slight’ compromise

Installed my SmartTop ....... my back does not like bending at awkward angles but, I'm happy now that it is done!

As Wighty say's, "Top Job", if I had mine looking as good, I would be reluctant to take it out on the road !!!

Hello Jim, I wish I had been more reluctant to take my car out after spending so much time cleaning it...don’t you just love wet country lanes and tractor drivers coming out of muddy fields...

Les, I live in the middle of an agricultural area...tell me all about it !!!!....aside from the usual silage bale and fertilizer ( that's the polite word for it) trailers, being pulled by massive tractor's ( 4/5 steps to access the cab ) on secondary road's, forcing you into the ditch, where the mud become's a secondary worry....... But now you understand where I am coming from .

......and that is besides the horse $h1t that the rah, rah horsey types leave all over our roads.

Last week, I was travelling behind a farmer pulling a trailer with one of those massive tractors and he lost control of the trailer and was lucky not to lose control of everything. Many of them drive like idiots and we have lots of complaints in the village about the speed of farming equipment through the village -

How was the Golf?

The golf course was beautiful, my golf less so. The front nine are criss-crossed by river and stream, so much ammunition needed.

Mechanics and panelbeaters own cars that are work in progress, then when we finish them they usually get sold

I had a friend who was a most excellent bodywork and painter - his car didn't have 2 panels the same colour or shape...
The owner of the SL500 we took to Le Mans last year is an electrical and AC specialist - guess what wasn't working...

Reunited again after 3weeks away at Welwynmerx the 500 now back in the hands of the Missus and I get my 55 to drive again yaaaaa

It is a lovely course, I was up there a few weeks ago

Can visualise it now "Community Speedwatch" on horseback holding up traffic, crapping all over the roads out with their speed guns clocking the tractors as they drive through the village!

All in the name of elf & safety, coming to a village near you!
