Foxy Smith Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I'm currently experimenting with different air filter types to try and get something that suits my new flat-slide set up. I don't want to go hacking bigger holes in my bonnet until I know I have to IYSWIM. What's the score with running on public roads with your engine exposed? I suppose I can leave it till dark and try not to be too blatant. Just wondered if anyone knew?? Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelico Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Alan, I have seen lorries bomb along the M56 (I guess between different bits of a truck factory ) with nothing but a bare chassis, the drivetrain inc exposed engine and a seat with a bloke with goggles and a big grin. Good to meet you again last Tuesday, always nice to join the dots between a blatchat handle and a real person/car. Cheers. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shn7 Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Don't the hot rod community do this all the time . Just do it. I can't imagine you being stopped let alone what they would charge you with. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CageyH Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 I seem to recall that as long as all your drive belts/moving parts are covered, it is legal. Just look at the beetles with their arses hanging out (Baja's) - they just cover the drive belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Smith Posted May 21, 2005 Author Share Posted May 21, 2005 Thanks for the replies chaps. Looking out the window it won't be today, it's a tropical monsoon here is sunny Sussex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
