    Apparently having your cell-phone number on the rear window of your car does NOT mean you're trawling for gay sex - well at least that's what I've been told......

    Or a carbon fibre bonnet to save weight- of course they could save a lot more weight and money by pulling out the electric windows and power steering but that might stwain their wists..

    Gilmet eyes road warriors (worriers?) hate it when the last rays of the day penetrate to the deep dark recesses of their hoody's. With their 'Racing seat' bolted to the floor (lower COG = FAST) it is hard enough to see over the dash without sun strike.

    Have they not discovered the power of the GT stripe?

    As for bikes - a white out pen colouring in the tyre lettering is the tweek of the week. Magically restores total grippyness

    Absorbing light and radiateing heat are two totaly different characteristics of "black" mate.

    Why the hell are radiators black if it attracts heat?

    Let's put it this way for the real slow people out there.

    Black is hot to touch in the sun.

    Is a heater hot to touch when it's turned on?

    Does a heater "absorb" or "radiate" heat?

    There's your answer.

    the old black bonnet,

    Tailgate everyone untill you finally rear end someone.

    Replace your Bumper(nose cone) with a fibre glass kit, get second hand bonnet (tinted visor) to replace broken one.

    Motorcycle version of black bonnet.

    Of course other requirements are, small capacity motor, slouch in seat so only your eyes are above the dash, helmet on sideways and a loud muffler so everyone can hear how much your engine is struggling to go not at all fast.

    one of my teachers at school had a VG Valiant Regal coupe, beige with the vinyl roof. it was so so cool.

    Another one had an utter minter 1956 Chev Bel Air sedan.

    allegedly the Chev is around Timaru with a great big hole cut in the bonnet....
