Welcome back Stevo
Sounds as if you've got a good deal all round there with some sparkly bits to play with added into the bargain.
It also seems like you're almost 100% converted from two wheels to four. Which is a good thing, but then again, we're kind of biased :lol2:
Notice there I mentioned "good deal" but not knowing all the ins and out of what's what and how much etc.
That's because whatever they cost, you simply can't put a price on fun and freedom and if you're happy, we're happy; you've like-minded people here and the key interest is all that really matters.
Hardtop: yes this usually disappears at or around this time of year and generally doesn't make a return, fixed, not suprisingly the next January given the UK's "bespoke" weather.
I'll take the opportunity to stick "Newcastle, Tyne and Wear" in your location profile, given that you've mentioned it above in your opening post. Just saving people wondering "where in the North East?" if they fail to check back "up top". They simply have to click your avatar picture to find this out and this can be hidden or even removed at any time, should you wish to go incognito

:ninja:
In the meantime, get out there and enjoy. Better still, come back on here and tell us all about it, because whatever happens I'm sure you'll get a knowing nod towards the screen from us crew.
Life starts here. :nod:
