If you have a car (obviously you do!) that the top will fit on, and don't have time to do it, I'll drive to Germany. You pay for petrol and MaccyD's and I'll pick up your top

Where are you based mate? If I was getting one I'd make some time and go get it my self. You could DHL/UPS it but then there is no garantee that it'll arrive in one piece. I've just watched top gear and feel like going on a silly long drive :lol:

You tell me where in the north west you are located mate, and where you recon you'll be picking it up from and I'll run a budget.

it would help if you told us where in Germany, as it is very L A R G E

Calais to Stuttgart for instance is 453 miles and would take 6 hrs 52 minutes...

20mpg (I drive badly) means 23 gallons there and 23 back at (dunno in Europe) 3 GBP per gallon now?
plus the Croque Monsieurs every 50 miles.... 200 quid?

plus the Ferry/Tunnel

at least the Motorways are free in Belgium so no Tolls to worry about - are they free in Germany?

timing eh?

Koln is only 256 miles from Calais and a mere 3hrs 51 mins

half the cost!
