Good one. That is the best fitting webasto sun roof that I have ever seen.

The car is great, but what I'd really like is that lovely bit of land behind it in the first photo.

Dave.

Nice looking car.

I think I have got an expansion bottle you can have.
What type is it?

Steve do you get pet names for 7s you have in your place a number of times, or are they just stock numbers, like any other car?
