nope The Shaw Trophy but we just did the 12 car !! [our comp licenses hadnt come and we werent going to pay the fine]
we were 6th coz somehow[we dont know how]we got a fail otherwise we would have been 3rd......

was great fun though and considering it was our 1st outing we did ok. started of ok and just got better and better, after half way we cleared it !!
kept getting stuck behind a quattro !! on some of the long sections we passed 4 cars, which is awesome to make up 4 mins !!

Being stuck behind on of the greatest rally cars of the 80's is no mean feat, well done :)

The spot lights look good, and hopefully did the job too. I take it they worked well, as I read your posts in the bracket thread I started about you fitting them? Good work chaps!

That's the only thing with driving lights, you suddenly get plunged into darkness with the dipped headlights, as there sin't much you can do with them!

Quiet zones are flipping annoying... I'm thinking of doing what Carl suggested to me, and have my driving grill on a separate switch, so I can kkeep main beam on, but have the grill off in them.
