Location: Brighty in Blighty | Here's a brief account of what happened :-
1. Bought a mint FD14 from Blues Sailor
2. USPS (US courier) / ParcelForce (UK courier) managed to crack the top! A*s*h*l*e*!!!
3. After MUCH paperwork and with *HUGE* amounts of help from Blues Sailor...
4. A check arrives in the post for shipping back to the Mothership, a new (old stock) top to be fitted and shipping back to the UK. :)
So score one for the good guys. Balance has been restored to the universe. :D |

Congrats! :D |
