What a friendly bunch.

Wow!.... How do You expect a friendly response, when you become impatient and abrasive in what is only your second post. I notice that you became a member around four months ago. It took you so long to post an introduction, yet you get shirty when you haven't had a mass of warm welcomes within just a few short hours. I was going to say hello and welcome and ask you to explain wether the brackets in question were attatched directly to the bumper, or on an "A" bar, or similar, because I have a few spare brackets and mounting hardware..........Don't think I'll bother now, though.

Well.
Nobody can accuse him of not making an entrance


Let us see if it was all a big mishtake

I've clearly offended you. I'm genuinely sorry. I'm also surprised that my post was considered to be 'abrasive' - I'm pretty thick skinned and don't offend easily, so I don't always think enough about how I might come across.

Obviously, I was just trying to attract attention. Why else bother?

It worked.

I was also sending myself up a little. I think one or two people here realised that - with remarks like "pick your bottom lip up" which was exactly what I was hoping for.

So, once again, I am sorry if I caused any offence to anyone.

And... Hello!

Welcome to the asylum - just remember that some of the guys in white coats are inmates !

If you give TonyN a bell he might have a switch for your sunroof - he's down the road from you in Blazingsmoke

Cheers Bob! That's grand - will do.

[Sean_F]

No worries.

My second "boo hoo" post was a bit of a send-up as well (obviously) as a classic bit of attention seeking..!

[Sean_F]

Hi Sean, sorry missed your "hello". Welcome ! (belated)

Hello! Thanks, and no worries!

[Sean_F]

Hello and possibly goodbye?

Bad move letting us know how sensitive you so very early on.

[Sean_F]

Not sure if the wave is hello or goodbye but don't be put off, we're not a bad bunch really.

Let's stick with 'hello' I think!

[Sean_F]

Pick you bottom lip up, post some pictures of the bracket you need and mark some sizes on it and I will make you a couple. You cover postage, call it a welcome prezzie.

Brian - that would be brilliant! Someone did ask me why I didn't just make some myself. I pointed out to them that some days I have trouble making breakfast.

Cheers!

Just saw this, hello!

Hello, ( Again ) Sean. Welcome to the forum. If you can post a couple of pics of the brackets that you need, I think that there are plenty of us who are willing to help. There are a few people breaking sunroof Surfs in the " Parts for sale " section. I'm sure that you'll find what you need.

I've just moved office from Reading to Hook this weekend - if I'd still been in Reading I could have dropped by and entertained you with my complete lack of knowledge of all things mechanical !
