Well amusing but not hilarious.

Does anyone remember the famous Argos Tent Ebay listing from a few years back ? The hundreds of Q & A should have been collated and published. Now that was brilliant!

I think it's from the 'Parts you will need to fit Roll Hoops' in the Z3 Knowledge database (The prices shown might be out of date and ex VAT)

Buy a ragtop 4 seater. You know you want to.
Don't get a Dirtbox, but if if you do, please try not to park on the pavement.

If you're not garaged, another option might be a 12v solar charger - like this http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?Mod ... doy=search

Does anyone know if the 51168407238 Box Set, Quantity/ 1 £107.20
includes the Lid and the Box liner?
If not, can one get away without fitting the liner as it is starting to get a little expensive....

I suspect you have a leak.
We get a few drops of water on the passenger seat after prolonged rain. Sure enough there was frost today on the screen inside.

Don't be a brand snob - take a trawl thro the Argos catalogue until you find a nice fit. If they don't - just take em back until you find some that do
