For those Brits that may not know the Weser there is an excellent web site at https://www.mygermancity.com/weser - I hope the author doesn't mind me posting this connection. Some of the old Treffeners may remember our visit to Hamlyn a few years back -- http://www.tednewman.me.uk/2004day9.htm http:/...

Looks good Michael - the Weser is a lovely river flowing though some very interesting places, we (Karin and I) register our interest but health issues need to be addressed first :thumbsu:

Re: Hardtop lining

Good luck - probably easier than replacing the rear screen in your soft top! :) I ain't done that yet either :rant: If I had I wouldn't have put the hardtop on :shutup:

Re: Hydragas Suspension

OK so you have a damn good operation --- for £108 you would have come to my premises in SE London, recharged the units, recharged the system, road tested the vehicle and given me back my car with the ride just as it was in 1996 when we bought it! Now that sounds like a real bargain. Pity I did not k...
