Indeed and when I win I'll have the kettle on whilst waiting for kiteman to catch up.  Enjoy your new ride mate! ________________________________________________________________________________ Max SportsKombi - The Bay Racer

 Think you might need a nice little Eriba Puck (colour co-ordinated of course) behind that for camping!!??  Cool ride for two - but what about the dogs? ________________________________________________________________________________ Proud winners of Spike's Trophy 2017

No way to achieve 'spider' on the road. The roof arches are heavy and have to be left at home on a purpose made hanger. So really a rare sight. However, with the arches left in place the Pluriel is very much an electrified 2CV. Just the turn of a knob whilst driving to open back the stages of the cloth roof. Very convenient open-air motoring. (The new DS3 Cabrio has the same cloth roof but no removable arches) osg | |

osg Indeed I think the Pluriel was marketed as 'the new 2CV' when it was introduced. The DS3 is actually a very good car imo. Helped a mate buy one last year and I was very impressed with it. ________________________________________________________________________________ Max SportsKombi - The Bay Racer

Yes, and the DS3 Cabrio has THREE (but small) rear seats - unique in its class of convertables, I think. osg | |

| Mrs B has changed her JCW Coupe Mini to this boring thing.   I'm pining for the JCW already.

Steady on old chap, that Defender of yours could be said to be in the same category Any way, the new one is from the same stable! 'A change is a good as a rest'. ________________________________________________________________________________ Proud winners of Spike's Trophy 2017

| Nothing boring about my Defender - for all sorts of reasons!  It may be from the same stable but I suspect its more of a Shire than a thoroughbred.

| Came with a hair's breadth of buying this today:   Mrs B gave the green light, but after much discussion, we decided that shortage of space and too much Lancashire rain meant the sensible thing to do was to walk away.

| I hear what you're saying Tim, but it's beautiful. I'm not sure that it's pretending to be the real Herbie.
