No idea to be honest mate.
Nate is normally the Tunnnel Run guy as far as I know.

If there is one, I would at least go to the pre meet and catch up with you there.

I'm sure there will be one this year, I don't know dates, but I am sure that a new thread will be put up within the next couple of months by those that organise it (usually, the tunnel run happens on the night that the clocks go back)

Bonnet requires polishing, final fitting and a number plate but I think she looks pretty hardcore now.

Nah, as much as I'd love one. Not practical on a road car really.
Certainly not a road car with all the crap that mine has on it now.
Would involve me wiring all the current Defi sensors to the ECU and then displaying them via a stack.
Then the Defis would be worth sod all to sell and I would still have to add in various other lights and indicators that the stack obviously doesn't come with.

Good luck copying it.
That vent is a genuine works WRC item that hasn't been made for over 8 years. It took me 5 years to even find one. There are copies about buy are not dimensionally correct.
Nothing local to get wet, it will be shielded during the winter months anyway.

Got a new addition for the car today.
4ltr Lifeline fully plumbed in extinguisher. This is in addition to the 2.25ltr handheld extinguisher in front of the passenger seat.

If you're not familiar with this kind of setup. The extinguisher will be mounted behind my passenger seat and will have an emergency operation cable on the dash. There will be jets mounted under the bonnet aimed at the engine in various places that are all fed by the extinguisher.
Therefor its all fully plumbed into the car.

Never seen it on a road car before, I see the rally/track guys have them. Surely there can't be much left now Frayz

Yeah Fozz, never wanna have to use it but I think it's worth having. This one is the biggest readily available motorsport extinguisher at 4ltrs.
It's designed to put 1/2 in the cabin and 1/2 into the engine bay. However I'm going to aim all 4ltrs into the engine bay as that's most likely to ever have an issue. Then I'll have a 2.25ltr hand held in the car. Both of these are fully FIA and MSA approved items.
It's quite weighty at 5kg or so but weight worth having on board IMO.

Oh Andy there's heaps to do yet. I've so many ideas I don't know what to do with em all. Lol
