Dear Richard, Thanks for your sympathy - and sorry for the delay in replying. The birth of our second son has played havoc with my normal e-mail-answering routine... I have taken a two-stage approach to the problem of hood- and tonneau-slashing. The first stage has been to re-fit the hard-top. In August. Just as the sun has started to come out. Grrr. The second stage has been to find a garage to rent. The best I could find is going to cost me GBP32.00 per month, and is a good fifteen minutes' walk away. Grrr. I take possession at the end of the month, at which point I shall be able to remove the hard-top. This is also when it is going to start raining solidly for nine months.
