[alfa] Re: Duetto roof (top) removal

Thanks Biba, I'll attack it soon.

My top is almost new though someone has already bounced a polish laden
buffer off it along the lower rear edge.  I wish to avoid any accidents such
as this when I give her a spruce-up.

As for nappy (diaper) patrol..................I'm merely stepping aside to
allow my wife, baby, and visiting mother-in-law time to 'bond' over the next
3 weeks while I'm off work !!!!  No point getting in the way now, is there ?

PS:  Hows that Miss Universe eh ?   We were born in the same town y'know.
