Nice one for managing to find the topic stu 
Cant beleive that happened with the sunroof, not seen those pictures before!
Is it all sorted again now?
As a side effect you do realise that bumping the topic has reminded me even more about what an awesome holiday it was last time and im not even more excited about the next one having just booked the hotel yesterday!
Cant fucking wait
Just need to buy a car to take now

As a very approx figure, its about a grand per car basically, maybe 1200 if there is 4 of you and hence have to have an extra room.
So 300 for 4 sharing, 500 for two sharing.
Thats for EVERYTHING though, even your beers

I didn't even have screwdriver for a LONG time.
So somebody will probably have tools for a job like pads change? I think I take spare set or two. Maybe some really exteme racing ones.
