I think everyone knows Pete's car wins hands down, purely as it's running crossplies. :drool:

I think it (even though I'm sure it's not for sale) would be my first 'Lottery win' purchase.

Yep, that's why I'm running radials 😞. 'Daily' car so it is the only concession I'd make to make it nicer/safer to drive. If it wasn't already 12v when I got it I would have kept it 6v as well.

Peters car is just fantastic, it's one of the few cars I'd buy over the phone.

Totally agree on a daily car. They´re dangerous enough already, lets face it!:d

It's the age old question, where do you stop?

Also TBH in a crash I cant see how my three point belts are going to do me much good, I've tested it out and your head just whips forward and hits the dash/steering wheel.

My car also has slightly later wipers fitted, as I know from experience that mine wipe a LOT better than the normal little bit of thin rubber. Rain-ex all the way in the oval.

Indeed!

Was talking to some bloke at my friends place - "Oh yes, I´m doing IRS and four wheel disc brakes...and...and...". All of which was planned for a car that was still a rusty stripped shell. Get it on the road first, mate - worry about going racing later!
None of it´s going to stop some dozy bint running into you, or help you if she does.

Wise move Will, when I got my car it was fitted with some old radials. Could not believe the difference the x plies made (and I fitted the £100ea firestones) They look great and are the only way to go on a Sunday car but radials are deff the way for a daily.

TBH, I'm yet to have an incident where I'd have liked more braking, or where I've found the swing axle rear to be a bit wandery. Although I am only running with 34 furious horses. 😎

And George, I have her address, fancy grabbing the pitchforks? :rofl:
