Slim,

Will the roll cage suit an FC owner?

The only part of the Poo Mobile that's likely to fall over is the driver - after about 10 VB's that is  Grin

Cheers,

Craig.

OK Slim I'll give away the secret to speed in a stock FC

1. Pump the crossplys up to 50psi

2. Find a bloody big, long, straight hill

3. Wait for a really bloody strong tailwind (this could take a while)

4. Wind all the windows up (sometimes has little effect if the door rubbers and baily channel are rooted)

5. Close the cowl vent (reduces the drag co-efficient markedly)

6. Remove the sunvisor (it'll come off itself at about 100 miles an hour anyway)

7. Lower the radio aerial (if fitted)

8. Lean forward (very important)

9. Use neutral or alternately remove the spark plugs (it's faster)

10. Hang on tight, always remembering that you won't be able to stop.

Under these conditions even I would consider the fitment of your roll cage, and would happily pay the $200.00.

cheers,

Craig.

I am phychologically scarred at the thought of you doing all those things, and if I can bear witness to this chain of events to see you hit 100 mph, Ill gladly give you the rollcage! If you survive Shocked Shocked  or if you dont roll it  Grin

Craig

Anyone would think you had a grey under the bonnett rather than a red  Wink

And from memory there are some suitable hills around your area to try to get 100 mph.  Possible even your drive way!!!  Cheesy

I've seen Craig in action, those 10 VBs are long-necks...

PS "Long-necks" are 750ml bottles for the non-NSW people who call beers by all sorts of silly names like "seven" and "pot".
