Massive ghetto cornering lights anyone? (Make a sweet pod for 'em) (P.s. I'm saying remove the case and everything - I'm not advocating anything THAT ghetto!) |

Post by Doug_Woods on 04/03/9 at 20:25:52 In the 1970s, we used to carry a hand held spotlight (which plugged into the cigarette lighter) in our emergency kit in the car. It served many emergency purposes. One year on the Canadian Winter Rally, we lost all of our light at night at the start of a stage. I plugged the light in, held it out the window for about 10 miles (its amazing how well one can aim a hand held light around corners) and we almost won the stage. :) Doug Woods |

Having experienced something similar but in the late summer/early fall... I can't believe you were able to hold on that long. Your hand must have been FREEZING! |

I had a winter glove on my hand. But, yes, it was still very cold. Doug Woods Two classes only - 2WD and AWD |
