went to see mizzy the bmw breaker who i think is known here, a top bloke who sorted me a soft top, with mainly e85s littered all over his yard, i had a pick of 4 rag tops to choose from , i inspected each one, made my decision and he took it off there and then. I found him on ebay andf glad i did. a happy chappy :D

Luckily I'm round the corner, which is a blessing and a curse cos it means spending £££

Was well happy with my £10 zhp :lol:
 
There's a fun little video, by drone, of his yard and the surrounding area, on here somewhere.

Some sad sights there :(

BUT, LOTS of pickings!!

is it just me that finds drones rather intrusive ?
anyway, as i said i had a nice day driving "up t north" but somewhat marred by the strange turn of events. I bought my car from "tup north" last november and, the front right caliper seized within 5 miles of setting off and as i bought it late afternoon it was dark by 4pm and everywhere was shut, i nursed it home and it took 6 hours to get home with all the stopping to let the caliper cool down, at one point i found a nice pub, decided i would call the rac and sit and wait in comfort, have a meal and wait , the rac who told me 4 hours.. :headbang: so i pressed on
fast forward to yesterday and .. after setting off early for accrington "tup north" guess what happened .. yup, the caliper revisited after 5 mines.. this time i drove back home and gave it a dose of copper grease, chucked the can and some wd40 in the boot and tried again, all was well again, although not even the lovely drive though the peak district national park was enjoyed as much as i had wanted as i was waiting for the cooking smell to reemerge. I have concluded the car got upset because it thought i was taking it back...... :rofl:

I heard everything “tup north” was tight? The calliper is merely following the trend :P
