and there you go - one chance post on August 11th, and 6 weeks or so later a picture of Mr Motorrad driving off in my old Clio Trophy, and his old SL500 on my drive And what a top man as well.

39kg?? Hm. (I never take the last 40kg off my barbell.)
Sounds easy eh, but try holding 5 gallons of petrol a foot infront of your stomach and see how easy it is. That would weigh just 16kg btw! 39kg for a glass panoramic roof may not sound so much, but even doing the standard roof safely is a two "reasonably in shape bloke" job. I'm no power-lifter (prefer term "racing driver build ), but me and similar 85/90kg 6'2" mate put mine back on last week... it's never "hard", but you certainly have to concentrate to not damage paint, and not a straightforward task. Nor one I'd ever ask the missus to help me with!
I love those early 90s VHS tapes on youtube showing a yuppie male/female couple do it with absolutely no effort....

It can be quite awkward lifting from a hardtop stand, easier resting it on the ground 1st to get a decent hold. I love those early 90s VHS tapes on youtube showing a yuppie male/female couple do it with absolutely no effort....
