What a month. Seems only two days ago that I dumped that M3 back with BMW. I'll be frank; I DO NOT KNOW where the last four weeks have gone. It's been an unrelenting storm of lawyers, suits, lawsuits and â€Ëabusiness opportunities'.

My only respite was one bright morning late last week when I swung left at the NH Museum and headed for the park. What a morning!

If only I'd had the time to slowly cruise past the Serpentine. If only I'd been able to wait for the lights to change green. If only I wasn't being followed by several angry officers of the law. If only.

But all that aside, on a morning such as that, if only I'd been in a convertible.

What you got?

Thanks for the info Trevor - I'll check it out with ZimmerBimmer. Wouldn't mind picking your brain sometime re hoods in general as yours looks sorted and I've got some issues with fit, rattles and draughts.Cheers - Steve
