Ben,
I'm sure most of us are jealous at the thought of your new lifestyle.
It's just a pity that the US is the most difficult country for Brits to emigrate to - there would be a queue I'm sure - and loads more Minors.
All the best with your venture.

Pete

My comments were just a little 'joke' about the ship currently on the beach - with containers full of cars and motor bikes being washed overboard!! I still think you should waxoyl it thoroughly - and grease up the chrome bits. And take a spare windscreen with you!! They will be impossible to buy in Florida - and a nightmare to ship from UK. Out of interest - what kind of 'job' takes you off to Florida with all expenses paid ?

Well done - diving in Florida should be fun. Watch out for Great White things with sharp teeth!!!
Just ask in 'wanted' for a screen - or buy a new one from any of the suppliers. If new - I would also get a new seal to go with it. All the other glass is flat - so easy enough to get fixed in US ofA.
