SL Shop plaudit...

[tacfoley]

I have a 30-year-old W107 Cali-spec, tatty but still my joy. This year, for the first time in 14 years of ownership here in the UK, we found a generous friend who would look after the hardtop - and give us back the car we had loved when we last drove around Madrid in 1997/8.

Needless to say, it was also the wettest summer since Noah went into boat-building, and there were not as many chances to enjoy the fresh air as we had hoped, but EVERY opportunity was taken, and much enjoyed.

Putting the roof back on, however, caused a gigantic hiccup - it simply would NOT snuggle down. Nor would it lift off again, having somehow gotten snagged at the rear locking pin.

Enter the boys at the SL shop. Sunday evening, I emole them, since we were just outside Chester, and on our way back to East Anglia, asking that if we dropped by this very morning, could they help us out?

We did.

They did.

And would not take a penny for it.

Thank you, Bruce and Sam and the boys.

Makes you feel good when you get this kind of help here in UK - NOT something we are used to getting, I have to say with a certain degree of wistful sadness.

Great to hear such positive comment, equally good that you resolved your issue.

Hmm, never met anyone from Bornite.

I know a guy in Uranium, though.

Have looked at their website many times and would certainly buy from them based on what I have heard /seen.

The only thing preventing me for doing just that is a marked lack of money.

As the Rabbi Itzhak bar Kehany, my maternal great uncle, once noted - 'When you are rich, you can pretend to be poor, but when you are poor, it's hard to pretend to be rich.'

You should move to Bornite, the property is a lot cheaper!
