Cool

Last weekend I spent the weekend in Nottignham and took part in the Nottingham cruise. Trouser was there (of course) with his latest editions...

The neons and their placement.


The huge (and loud) TEL backbox and okay, yes the neons.


Actually dusk and they are starting to light the place up. Trouser at this stage was quite pleased with the results.


At night, subtle (even for Trouser) stops!


As you might notice... they are bright.


The backbox and the ground lit up in the cool glow of red neon.


Okay so the ground and the underside of the car a bathed in light.


Even when behind Trouser with HIDs lighting up his car the neons were still visible!

SHame it isn't possible in a picture to show the strobes or the neons and LED washers pulsing in time to the music!

No need to search for Trouser at Donnington today then?

Hope you're keeping ahead of the Nova boys.

Just my opinion and I don't want to offend anyone but aren't neons and strobes a bit 90's boy racerish? the sort of thing that treved up XR2s and Novas used to do.

Well.. kinda. And sticking lights under your car doesn't really go well with the off-road rally car look.

Still, each to their own

You don't actually need strobes in that back box, it created it's own sparks and one small flame (much to Pauls satisfaction when I told him!)!

Why are you all saying "Tart" like is something we never knew about him!

You wait until I post pics of Salsa's car in the dark!
