Both of my brothers and I have all had British sports cars and/or Land Rovers, sometimes all at the same time, and they all seem to leak. My younger brother currently has one of these: http://www.ngcars.co.uk/factory/factorytcframe1.html It faces up to the leakage problem by not bothering to give you a top at all. If you want to drive it in typical British weather you need to wear Biggles-style leathers. He first bought it a few years ago round about Christmas time and we took it out to play on some of the back country roads near his house. We didn't have any leathers. It was cold, but bearable, at speeds up to about 100 mph. When we got to 145 mph it started raining a little. At that speed, at that time of year, the raindrops hit our balding pates like bullets at the Alamo. Very painful. Nice car though. -- Cheers, Bob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
