good 1 Laurie! I've had my carbra for my RS2000 now for nearly 18 years! It's been in the rain, dust and the sunshine, No problems with the paint afterwards either. Just look after it. I have to now get some new velcro strip sewn in, not bad after all this time.[:x)]

Whoppa, it doesnt run any hotter with the RS. I would have had it on the RS for the Concourse, but you saw it needed new velcro tabs. Not bad after all this time.

Hi Laurie, Parkes boy eh? My family are from Parkes, some live just a stones throw from the Police station. Others are in Trundle and Condo. I still spend as much time in Parkes and Trundle as possible. Small world!

Hello Peter M. Parkes has been very good for me. I have a 16 month tenure left before I transfer back to Sydney. Would like to catch up next time you are in town. Only too happy to have a beer with a fellow forum member. You know where to find me.[:x)]

Hello Laurie,
Next time I am going to visit the relo's I will make sure the mighty VL (ex chaser) will be cruising on the usual 160 (km/h). You might just find me! [:u]

Hello Laurie,
Yes, Parkes is a great place with great people. I have many fond memories there from day dot with a large family and many huge family Christmas parties in High St. City people really do miss out on the lifestyle and the country education. The only problem is the lack of work, especially in professions.
If you have been brought up in the city I am sure you will have learn't a lot about the country ways. Often the city cops when posted to the country are in shock and have a significant learning curve to start with. But all is usually good.

hey Laurie......
Im all for the bra. I have had concerns about it marking the piant from rubbing etc but if you keep an eye on it and if it is causing any damage or not you will be sweet.
I live in the Adelaide Hills. On a warm night the amount of bugs out on the road is crazy. They get everywhere and are hard little buggers to clean.
if i had a car bra i might drive my corty alittle bit more at night during the summer months.

The 'Bra' is lined with felt.(Soft as a baby bum)And is fitted snuggly and doesn't move once fitted correctly.Wind deflecters on top of bonnet help hold it in place. Metal tabs that fold around the guards are also lined in felt. Company is located in Sydney. You can see their product on www.carbras.com.au.They have not received any complaints about their product scratching paintwork.NMRA advertises Robco in the Open Road mag

Hello Laurie,
"Shaun, I could not locate the old thread of my Escort pre round headlight,..."
I don't want to sound too smart, but I found the thread at:
http://classic-ford.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7318&whichpage=2&SearchTerms=e
The car bra looks good and is really a functional necessity for country road driving if wanting to preserve valuable cars's from stone chips and pesky bugs and grasshoppers etc.
Another improvment of the car bra concept would be an inflatable car bra to help protect from roos and emus when driving on country roads!
