Rob will be running the Furby on Saturday with Rapid Yellow in his silver Rover.

IF I can get the sills back in and finish the engine build and get an MOT etc I will be there with the Rapid.

I'm still waiting the clutch so I wont be running at full speed.

Well the clutch is on its way, the head is fitted and the sill is half done

What do you reckon my chances of getting away with towing the rapid on its A bar with no tax is going to be?

A frames are open to debate and have been for years, with the questions of- is the car then a trailer?, does it need tax/insurance?, do the brakes have to work? blah blah

There's so many opinions (on various forums, mainly reg motorhomes), some say it's just a 4 wheel trailer, then it should have the brakes connected if it's over 750Kg but doesn't need tax etc, some say it's still a car so needs tax, some say it's only legal for recovery work.

I tow the kitten behind my van, no brakes linked but it is taxed/insured. Last year i stopped in a services for breakfast on the way to pod and the dibble were having a right good look at the car behind the van when i came out. A 10 minute chat followed, but nothing to do with towing/A frames etc, just general interest what the car was, what it had in it and how fast it could go!. I think as long as your not being stupid and doing 120mph, i don't think there's any problems.

Don't blame me if you get pulled though! :redface: :omgrofl:

I'm aiming for a test day on 28th Feb as mine is still in bits all over the garage :)
The 28th will only be a chance for me to test the carb settings around the pod though. I doubt I'll sign on to race unless I lose this flipping bogging problem !!
