I guess I am at the mercy of the garage where I left the car

Run your hands along the contact patch of the tires to feel for imperfections or a "waviness". if it anything but round then that's your culprit

Thanks guys. Come to think of it I don't think it is a tyre issue. When I was putting the roof up stationary at the garage I revved it a little and it rumbled and vibrated then so it can't be the tyres as the car was not rolling.

Acceleration vibration and a lumpy sounding engine like its firing off 3 put of 4 cylinders maybe???
