Hi all,
Spent the afternoon removing Emma Peel's rollbar. I was motivarted by two
things;
first, can't get British Columbia collector's plates with it installed (not
original and they are picky). Second, a desire for more leg and arm room (I'm
6' and tired up not being able to get back from the wheel.) Finally, a friend
commented that in an an accident there was a pretty good chance you could really
whack your head on the bar.
What I didn't expect in removing it was how much improved the car's looks are;
it looks more balanced, original, elegant, classic and just down right pretty.
Yes, I know it is (was) a big safety feature, but, I drive Emma pretty
sedately.
If I want to rock and roll in a car, I use the Honda Accord daily driver.
By the way, if anybody needs a roll bar; I've got one for sale.
Hope all had a scary Halloween.
Cheers,
Neil
