Seen them in place on RVW's car, great bit of kit, and at that price it would be daft not to buy one.

Highly recommend it if you like to throw the car into corners and want to be held in place

Fuel yes, batteries no (only for classics), but a car is worse with empty tank as its the vapours that are the flamble bit not the liquid.

The worse bit some classic owners were draining their tanks an disposing of it on the fields which was more dangerous than leaving fuel in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Due to hot cars, cigaretes an vapours

The new MINI section was rubbish and a waste of time going, It took us over 2 hours to get there and hardly any time to walk round the MINI section with only a couple of stores with bits for sale. All we got was a years subcription with Modern MINI!! Then the drive home again.

There was even less than last year! You would think that it would be larger each year, I really thought it would have been in two halls this time with much more for us new MINI's.

its the first time i've ever been turned away from a display due to too much fuel in the car. Very disapointed in not being able to get the cars in, but its partly my fault, i didn't read the paperwork that came with the passes for this show. It never occured to me that the nanny state would make it into the show scene. Like Loui said those that could syphon out their cars were then pouring it over the grass, the whole area reeked of petrol. Reading the paperwork afterwards it seems that we are expected to carry out a "risk assesment" of our stand now too
