T-Bone... As great as it would look, and as suitable as it would be for a show-oriented event, its MotorVation!!... You're not going to want to park the car up and not take it out at all... at least get the fuel smoke puffing and let us hear it spool up on a supercruise or 4...

By all means grab a couple of stands, jack the front up and pop a mirror underneath so the turbo gets some attention when its parked in the marquee, but I wouldn't be worrying about putting up rope/chain etc...

A "please admire but dont touch" sign will be perfectly sufficient, and will let people get up close and see the workmanship thats gone into it so far!

Besides, its going to be parked on grass, and cars will be being moved around fairly regularly, so save the chains and full-on setup for Autosalon IMO!

Jimmy... the car wont be moved much at all if anything.. i dont want to drive the car as i said to TJ previously.. if it is for a long drive then yeh no worries but not short little strips where the car will be idling for long periods of time.. Not good for the car with so many little kms on it.. Crossing the fingers the car is ready to drive though.. haha
