UK Installs

Post by Motorsport Safety »

Hi all

I have been following this board for a while now and its been a great source of ideas and a good giggle along the way :lol:

As you can prob guess from the nick I am involved with motorsports in a big way we dont have any fancy stuff like you guys have but its getting there slowly as things become cheaper and available.

I have just got to about 80% of kitting my own vehcile that I use while working on the track or dealing with the odd smash that tends to happen just when you want your bed and your nearly home and bang round the bend to find a car upside down I just hate that :x :D

Just wondered if you guys would be interested to see what we coble togeather over here let me know and I will go grab some pics and whack em on the net for you all to laugh at.

All the best guys and keep the ideas coming I need the insperation.

I would love to see some. As much as I like the "look at my forumer police car that still kind of looks like one", I like seeing the radio/lights on a John Deere Gator, Skid-Steer or pace car. I think some of the coolest installs I've seen have been in/on unconventional vehicles or vehicles that are not use for the normal fire/LE/EMS uses.
I say post away. :D
