Hi Andy,
Sorry to hear about your personal problems.
No need to feel guilty at all. I'm sure all know a bit about each others circumstances and if members don't reply to posts there's a reason behind it.

Only hope things get better for your mother and yourself.

Johno

We had a lecturer at uni "Dave Lee" (staggeringly we also had another lecturer called Lee Travis!) He had an old Morgan with nothing but a tonau cover on the passenger side. He drove to work everyday rain,snow,sun,hail,etc just in his Biggles hat to keep his head warm.

It was a 4 wheel one

I think I would have to have full weather gear and a Heater to use a 7 year round.
