GuyH Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Small price to pay for driving a decent car. Seriously though, 2 decent shots there. Fantastic, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananaman Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Great shots Jon I have an observation to make. Rumour had it that this year scrutineers were going to be fussy about roll bar height. Seems to not be the case... That's what i was thinking............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Navin Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Agree but...... not my car not driving it again the sruitineers were that inconsistant that they were arguing amongst themselves too much to ask me to sit in the car to notice and as second driver I was never in the car to drive past them in the collection area., It is something that I saw them looking at whilst I was waiting for a drive and I DO AGREE that Pauls roll bar is NOT safe for me. Lesson learnt honnest the rest of the xcar was great though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the pictures, more Westfields than not would have failed on the rollbar height... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 On a similar note, the seat backs look about the same height as mine... Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Navin Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 No mate my feelings are fine thanks What my rambelings were trying to get at was that as this is not my motor work on the roll bar is not an option HOWEVER if it was I would have a silly bar ala the Throbber done. The point is that the scruitineers are still not consistant and as such it is a gamble on what they pick you up on and what you need to do to your car. Noboby to my knowledge was picked up on rear head rests yet we had to tape up the vents in the bonnets behind the engine Even on the V8 bonnets but only for one scruitineer Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arm Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 At Croft the car scrutineered before mine had its brake lights tested. Not seen that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeny Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 So no change there then!!! Just letting you in gently so you'll feel at home!! It's only because I was going slow enough for them to take the photos! I honestly thought the car wasn't going to get through scruitineering at one point......different kettle of fish to harewood!

Mark Stanton Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Did anyone ask why or did they say it was to stop the flames spreading in the event of a fire (whilst driving a car with a fibreglass body ) I'm sure tape would resolve it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
