Is anyone heading down to Ten Of The Best this week-end? I'm travelling down to York tomorrow morning from Inverness in the Viper.

I'm planning to leave about 10am. Car's not 100% finished though - still some bodywork to finish on bonnet/hood. When are you guys meeting?

And how disappointed am I that "10 of the best" was not referring to the trials & tribulations of one L.M.W.L. frown

Hi Av,
You might want to think about one of those baby seats for young Shelby, put the baby seat on its back on the seat of your stang and it makes a nice little cradle to hold her in when your going round corners (without brake lights of course). Just a thought, dont want her rolling about and skidding on those leather seats.

Watch it you or I will set her on you. She can be trained to kill.

Charity shops are your friend, you just need one with good side support. You can also get a dog harness to link into the seat belt. One of my biggest upsets is that I can't get my 2 labs into the vette in any comfort. Especially since its left hand drive, i.e. looks like a dog is drivingbiggrin

After a month of late nights and weekends achieving a mountain of work to ready my mates supra, the car towing it down south for mapping this week shat it's radiator fluid 50 miles from the dyno. Unbelievably gutted. Still going down to watch though and stick my car on the gt4oc stand.

Not my best introduction to competing in TOTB. Rain in the morning kept me off the strip and track then, when I did a few runs, my bonnet flew up at ~120mph, obscuring my view. Scary sh!t. Got 12.3s that run but with 95mph terminal speed - the bonnet flew up about 3/4 down the strip and I jumped on the anchors. Would love to have known what time I'd have got with functional bodywork!!
