SECS monitor

No pics for a while yet

But my best mod is dumping the weedy little 2 litre engine and fitting a 5 litre V8

A set of brakes lets you do things in your car that simply couldnt even think about with the standards.

I have lost count of the times that passengers in my car(who drive non AP equipped cars, I think to think of them as scum ) have been convinced I was hitting the guy in front of me only to let the AP's do their stuff and be no where near them

NAh - you are all wrong

The best mod on my cossie by a country mile beating all of the above as well is the self dimming rear view mirror that I have fitted to my car.

Why so good?

Cos when I drive like an ignorant twat, when people flash me, it no longer dazzles my tender and delicate eyes! hurrah!

Many thanks to Silver for smashing up that VW Bora all those years ago, and donating the mirror to the cosworth. Oh the fun of getting the little bracket to stick to the windscreen!

I do it after over taking and pulling back into spaces that would be hard to make on standard brakes
