Many apologies. Here's me deliberately carrying an umbrella in my
Spit, in order to prevent it raining on her, and then I go and do a
stupid thing like that. I really should know better...

Thanks. I shall have a proper look around later on this evening - at
first glance it looks very comprehensive.

So far, I have bought spares from the TSSC, SixSpares and T. D.
Fitchett. I have no idea how their prices compare with TRGB, but I'm
sure it would be worth finding out.

That might be my only possible source for replacement sun visors - I can

I wasn't actually looking for excuses! I'm not sure what my plans are
for this Saturday, but will drop you an e-mail tomorrow if it looks as
though I'm going to be passing.

Will do.
