so if i dont insure this car right, i can only drive it on traks .
what about driving it round 3rd party coz i have another policys that alows me to drive other veichals 3rd party as long as i have permission from the owner.

It would have been if I had got banned a week earlier, I would have got it ready for PVS if I knew I could drive it there, but seeing as I could'nt I did'nt rush it.
Trax is my aim, and I'm well ahead of schedule.

No, someone would still need to be insured on the Nova for your 3rd party cover to be valid.

As I have found out to my joy
If the engine blows up, get a new one won't cost more than £400 and I will be able to re-fit it.

What's the point in trailering a car to a venue just to drive it in a straight line
Surely cars are supposed to be driven on the road?
At the end of the show on Sunday, some cars were being trailered or towed home because they'd given up on the strip - there's no point breaking a 13 second 1/4 mile time if you can't even manage a steady 70mph on the way home
