Mr Lydon aka Johnny Rotten would be so disappointed in them.  He hasn't changed his stance at all, still froths at the mouth on the Royals, the establishment and the b*st*rds with all the money.

Grazie a dio that pics of Blondie weren't included.

I don't suppose it's any different to the hippies of the 60s who were into peace and love, and now most of them have perfectly respectable jobs.

What do you - others - expect? The world hasn't changed, so obviously the former punks / hippies / whatever have... it's easy to laugh and say "sell out!" but at least they tried, and did something and, for all that they never caused a revolution, nevertheless they changed some attitudes and entertained people. And it's tiring being a "rebel" - very, very few people have the energy to keep it up once the energy of youth wanes - and we all grow older. Time wastes us all, in the end. Good on 'em, is all I can say.

Quick question - I need to restore the Webasto sunroof on my car ( Pictures on OneDrive[^]
Anyone know if this is something I should/could attempt myself or should I find an elusive specialist and pay him whatever he asks?

Yes, pay me 1 billion dollars and I will do it. In fact, I'll even give you the "friends and family" 10% discount.

Sure. First post your address and then I'll mail you the information.

or find a second or third elusive specialist and compare prices ?
I'd rather be phishing!

Give it to a specialist.
With a Triumph you have enough to do anyway.

The good news is that as soon as you fix it, it will break down again.

If you still have all the fixing and they are salvageable, it may well be worth considering a visit to your local livery stables and ask about leatherworkers in the area. That side of the work will be most expensive from a car restorer's perspective, but for the sadler it is bread and butter work.

Good thinking - I know of a leather workers ... I shall ask.

If you are on FB, you will probably find this group helpful: TSSC Group[^] The group is very active and full of advice - in stark contrast to the equivalent MG group.
I'd be tempted to have a crack myself if the materials aren't too expensive - just do it on a hot day when the material is pliable and make sure it's reasonably tight. I know droptops are better off done by someone with a bit of experience, but this looks like a few press-studs (though mod this through the fact I don't know only had rag-tops).
I miss both my Spitties - they are as rare as hen's teeth around here and mahoosively expensive now, they used to be entry-level classics.

I am not sorry for what I told you. You offended me first with your comment.

I offended you by politely suggesting that a Quick Answers forum is not a suitable place to ask someone to teach you to write an anti-virus solution? 
This must be your first day on the Internet, then. Strap yourself in, because you're going to encounter far more "offensive" responses.
