don't know who it was, but what were the parts and why might he be interested in them, did they fall off his car?

Well at first I thought SRT10 in Reading it might have been me, then I thought, I wasn't in reading today and my SRT10 is still tucked up in bed from my vacation, then I though or is it, had I better go check its still there, That was when I realised its not black anyway. But it got me wondering if I might be interested in the parts you mentioned, before I later realised they were only applicable to the Black SRT10 that was in Reading, so I figured they must have fallen off it, oh never mind.

Oh and the white tape is to hold it all together at speed, you see its a neat front to back tape as blue vipers are incredibly fast and handle so superior that things flying off when its going forward at such high speed is a problem, unlike those slow red ones which need stickers all over the place holding the sides on and everything because as soon as they attain any forward momentum they keep spinning and going in circles etc. as shown in the recent you tube documentary.

As for the ACR, well I assumed you knew what ACR stands for (Araldite Compound for Racing) it overcomes the need for the tape and therore has better aerodynamics, mind you on the hard core ACR's they were a bit stingy with the araldite so they still put a thin red stripe on inline with the driver, just to be sure, especially as black ones have a reputation for things falling off anyway. Note the big spatula that is bolted onto the back, that's there in case you need to mix up some more ACR in the boot after one of those pesky Red ones spins into you or somint.

waits for someone to post a pic of mine fully stickered up
sorry mark

Hoy silly Don't bring me into this hehe

The spinning was to show other Viper owners who have Pilot Sport 1s fitted to their cars just how crap they are if you push them! Don't try it on an open road or you will come unstuck fast as the Video shows!

In the beginning of the day the tyres looked like new, but I managed to knock several thousand miles off them by the days end biggrin

All about having fun in a SAFE environment ......Now carry on hehe
