I think it would be nice for us to show a mark of respect for our patron TW this year.

It needs to be easy to do at such short notice, so I was thinking of black wing mirrors or something along those lines as this could be done easily with just some insulating tape.

Has anybody any ideas?

Oh, if anybody suggests this is disrespectful or tasteless in any way I'll happily forget the idea and delete this post.

Would happly join in- I guess some version of making our cars wear 'black armbands'...

I would have thought perhaps a black cloth from the wing mirror might do it?

..unfortunately my car is already black though..

Had plans to visit a print place tomorrow to see if they could quickly knock something up very similar to what Tim has done there. Black mirrors would be good but possibly lost amongst all the stickering that is happening anyway and as said no good at all for black cars. Really need something simple that as many as possible can do, what about a simple black strip around one end of each number plate (the right side I guess, to avoid covering euro plate bits).. nice and simple and all can do it, text can be added if you can get it done in time but just a small easy symbol would be nice.

How about something as simple as the attached?

Could put a PDF up and people could then print it themselves as stick it to their number plates.

I obviously mean just the corner piece. biggrin

Just an idea.

How about find the hour of his passing and have a TVR mass rev and switch off at the said hour on either the Saturday or the Sunday of the race.

We would be interested too, but I'm not sure about the corner of the numberplate - sorry to be a spoilsport but how does that stand legally?

because my plates are in no way illegal at the moment occifer whistle
