On the roof could work facing forward or back, or facing slightly sideways so people can bomb past me and I'll catch it

Yeah got all the usual sticky pads, I've also got a handlebar mount and the suction cup, which has held on so far even just past 100. So I'm impressed with that. I'll let you have a look and play on the day

Power and style awards finalists announced.. I`ve gotta go in gate b now! :shock: Didn't expect that to happen, the only MR2 entered so maybe that`s how I snuck in! Spoken to Peter today and sounds like good progress is being made with the painting though so hopefully the car will be ready!

You should it's looking damn good! I only stuck mine in for fun. Didnt think it would get picked for it. Too many little attention to detail bits missing from mine to be on there mixing with 600bhp polished uo supras to be fair! Bit of fun on the day though and they sent me a 15% discount voucher.

Going to be tight that my car is ready it's still with the painter. Taxed it yesterday though. Looking like a trip to Sheffield one night this week. Hows everyones preparation coming along? More updates?

Hmm new alternator and rad to go in today/monday. Wheels back from refurb hopefully on wednesday. I had ordered a rev5 carbon wing and end caps from carben fibre but i haven't heard from him this week so not lookimg hopeful for japfest. Lots of cleaning and an oil change to do too. Whoever invented sleep was a dick!

Garage queen!

Couldn't get mine booked into the bodyshop until after the show. :( Scottish roads are the best in the UK but you pay the price in stone chips! :(

Are we still on for 04.30 @ Clacket Lane?

Alternator and radiator replaced - no more dashboard Christmas tree, which is nice! (surprised at how loud it is without exhaust!)

Monday will see the exhaust reinstalled, final brackets for the recaros fabricated and installed, and then it's time for the cleaning to begin!

Washed the car tonight, just got to give her a final polish before setting off next Saturday morning. Hopefully my steering wheel boss will arrive before Friday so I can mount the new wheel....and then I am truly show ready. :thumleft:
