I cleared out my attic and took a load of junk to the local council recycling facility this morning (or 'tip' as they used to be called).
Whilst there I spotted a bloke removing this from the back of his car, so I very kindly offered to dispose of it for him :D
I'm sure it'll come in handy at some point!

Nice bloke actually, we got chatting and he's currently building a LeMans style car of his own design for use on trackdays. Sounded quite interesting!

I thought so! Funily enough my wife wasn't nearly as impressed. When I told her, her response was 'oh, great...' :rolleyes:

Yeah, two of them are missing.
They're only box section with a bit of tube welded on though, I'm sure I can fabricate a couple easily enough :)
