A "Mr Whippy" of dog mess on the roof, slightly forward, in the position police attach their blue flashing lights.
The only equipment you'll need is a small scoop ...

(Apologies if I've offended anyone - I just hate people who are careless like that - someone dented my transtop CRX similarly - would have cost a huge amount to fix as it would have involved dismantling the boot mechanism).

We had a bit of a whoopsie with a door ding at the first S2000 meet at Rutland. Alcohol induced I believe

I suggest you buy a set of those nice rubber door edge thingies. Leave them under the wipers, in an envelope with an anonymous note that says, "People whom you park next to would appreciate it if you could please fit these to your car"

That is an excellent idea Pete - will do! (I think I have a "spy" in her team who can tell me what she says!)

If it doesn't provoke a reaction, will you reconsider my Mr Whippy idea ?
(Just kidding )

Let us know how it turns out.

I used the roof cover all day at Elvington. The car looked nice, it reduced bufeting a little, didn't lift or bisbehave at all ove the day. I think now I've got mine trained to the shape, that I'll be using it more.
