Just not in the same class as Andy's (the jumper I mean, or carpet, or whatever)

Regards

Carpets ? You think Andy has hand knitted carpets in his house ?

Blimey, I like the sounds of that.

For all I know it could be his duvet but I know Stuart will struggle to keep up with that class item.

Regards

New mirror in the wing mirror that Bootsy sent me. I would like to be a bit of sealant on the edge to really make sure the mirror says in but I lack the skills to do it. Mrs Bardsley with her paint decorating skills should be able to help!

MT has sourced the bits lost/dissolved by the platers.

I got a package last night with the rubber seal for the mirror, rubber caps for the light button and some gaskets for it's service once I get it back.

Lesson learnt last night. I opened the box with a knife and managed to cut the plastic bag holding the gaskets but thinkfully not the gaskets!

I was starting to get a little anxious about the soft window and kit not arriving from Canada so I logged on today to check on the status. It had changed from accepted to held which means they have the package but are waiting for me to pay the customs charge. Which in turns means that I should have a card telling me to pay the customs charge. I hadn't received one so after 3 calls I was able to make the payment and the soft window should be delivered tomorrow!

I've spoke to the body shop and Mick and maybe I will get it this week! I've had to send a few bit and pieces from to Mick that where missing. Thanks to Adam, from Bolton Porsche, for helping me.

Once I get it will need an MOT and the soft window installing. Thanks to Chris Turner for giving me the name of a local retrimmer. Hopefully my stars align and I got the car sealed and road worthy pre Christmas.
