            I wish that the piping on this matched one of the colours of the Cherry blossom...as I find that the black distracts instead of enhances.

                                          That's awesome! Two things I noticed: The incredible amount of room in the compartment including the head room and I like the camera mounted so you can keep an eye on the area when you're underway. That's pretty smart!!

                                            Headroom is brilliant, I have to dip my head a tad, but really just a tad....

                                            The camera is a cock-up. I ordered it, then decided that I would prefer an Infra Red camera in there, so deleted it from the spec, with a view to retrofitting an IR. Obviously, a lost-in-translation moment, I'm hoping they say, "oh fuck it, you may as well keep it"........:hand_with_index_and_middle_fingers_crossed:
