UPHOLSTERY
Again, due to me rushing the car away from Christchurch we never had time to fine tune the new wet weather designed kit. I was adamant that I did not want a domed pinned attachment to the windscreen and in typical innovative Christchurch style a reasonable idea became excellent with thoughtful modifications. It is the attention to detail that makes things really work, little did we know that in two days time we would spend 9 hours in extremely wet conditions fully testing the wet weather designs…100% success with no wet bums at all! The work was all completed by Brendon Marshall of Canterbury Upholstery; this even included some custom carry bags that tucked into those crevices each side of the gas tank. Brendon realized my wine habits and made the bags zipped and padded…perfect for a bottle of picnic wine!
Credit must also be given to the seating and cockpit design of the MACH SR7 as the rather long drive from Auckland to Christchurch was extremely comfortable! So many people have asked was I tired, sore back, cramped and all received the same answer – NO! In fact it was better than many everyday cars I have driven over considerably shorter distances!
