All details to come in future articles, but progress is being made in readiness for some tarmac action!

Still loads to do, not enough time and not enough shillings in the wallet.... ho hum!

Those rear anchor points for the harness are strictly incorrect to the Blue Book, though mine are exactly the same.
Ideally, they should run near horrizontally to the rear shelf.
I got warned early this year by a hill climb Scrutineer.
Did removing the door cards really make that much difference when you have left other parts in there?

Graham,
I have already had that lecture about safety regarding the harnesses from Simon.

The door speakers weighed a ton! ..... and the windows will be coming out along with every thing else in the doors at some point.

Shaun.

Yes but if you are sad enough to enter every competition eventually you have to win something right
Me I dont eneter those....maybe if I got asked to a few we could rattle a few cages though eh.
As most Max Power readers cant drive into their local Tesco`s properly shouldnt be too hard an award to get.........not that I am dissing Madame De Banke of course.
