Do you still use the cane up there in Scotland?

One half of the roof tiled and it's not even the weekend. One of the kids at school says there is a car like mine on the 'yoghurt advert on the TV' I dont watch much TV but is there a Barchetta on an advert for yogurt? I feel a detention coming on....

Bet you weren't aware that the early B's had a Klingon Cloaking Device as an optional extra. Didnt know mine had it until a young lad stepped out in front of me today causing me to brake and swerve. Then, within 3 minutes, a Ford Mondeo failed to give way at a roundabout and I was forced to brake hard again to avoid hitting it. This cloaking device simply renders the B invisible and was obviously developed from the original fitted to the Enterprise. It's really useful for avoiding speed cameras and traffic warnings but you really do need to keep your wits about you if it activates suddenly.

That's uncanny ! I was reasoning I drive on 3000 miles rtn Euro trips and never see another B it is because they are rare and almost invisible if not painted a beautiful bright rosso red. But I assumed it's ONLY the dishwater grey, washing liquid green and insipid dowdy blue cars that are cloaked. Not for nothing are these dull colours used in camouflage. Vibrant Red is a bold colour easily seen & loved by all !!!!
Including the Gendarmes .. unlike a nice understated dark blue ...

My latest daft question concerns the heated rear window in the hardtop. When I bought the car, the hardtop was obviously fitted for the drive home and the rear window element was connected to the wiring loom connector adjacent to the drivers door post. With winter approaching, I have considered refitting the hardtop but it has struck me there doesn't appear to be a switch? Steve

Well, the rain has arrived but the roof is tiled and watertight. Just needs the ridges and finials. I was moving my hard top earlier and cant get over how heavy it is. Is it actually possible to fit this by yourself? The spikes look like they could do some horrendous damage to the tonneau cover. Steve

It is possible if you fancy putting your back out...
Those spikes scare me, could put a nasty scratch in the body.
The Barchetta has two seats for two passengers, two people should fit it!

I think youre right mate... I actually dont think I could lift it by myself whilst reaching over the car.

You could do it, but you would immediately regret it!

Just bought a replacement centre console/armrest from Henk. A bit more than I wanted to pay but very good service. The arm rest has the lock assembly, which I don't need, but I can't remember who was looking for one? I will get round to fitting the centre console at the weekend and I will take up a bit more slack in the hand brake cable at the same time. I'll post some pics if I can. If you're needing the lock bits, let me know.
