Yeah, I know.  :-)

The confusion may have started when someone combined Bimini with Birkin to 
denote sunshades for Birkin cars.  The Birkini.  Someone else wanted to denote 
such a device for any car and mistook the construction as coming from bikini.  

I made a Bimini of sorts for the TR4 by cutting the windows out of an old 
shrunken white TR4 top I bought on Ebay.  Maybe the new owner will stretch it 
back out and get the frame to fit correctly.
