Splendid - I can do without it then!

According to their sales chappie, not only do they not have any, they
don't even have a potential source of supply. :-(

Carly will be getting a new (new) rear spring whilst I am on holiday - I
really hope she will lose some of her sag too. Hitting a manhole cover
with the nearside wheels is painful enough; doing the same with the
offside wheels *hurts*.
BTW, I'm having second thoughts about having my hard-top sprayed to
match Carly's Inca Yellow - not least because I have been quoted GBP160
to do it. Black, however, would simply go on on top of the existing
red... What is the opinion of the list? Would a black hardtop on a
yellow Spit look daft, or classy?
