which is what I suppose I'm loking for. the benefit of a hightop to stand up while brewing up-
yet not so high as to act as a sail on the M6 :)

My workmates have done this sketch. "don't fit it t' van. leave it upside down and use it as a glass bottomed boat".

All I know is that it's old. the hole size for the roof vent is 36cm x 36 cm and the new Fiamma vent I've bought for it says it suits "the old" 36 x 36cm size with minor modifications!
