They use one on the BTCC A4.  That one follows the top front of the firewall.

I'm not sure (now that we don't have a stand) whether the A4 will be at Coy's.  
It probably _will_ be at Goodwood next weekend, though.  Along with the S1, the 
Silver Arrow, and lots of other goodies.

If I come up next to someone boy-racerish at the lights, I just _love_ dropping 
the clutch in first gear and leaping forward - then relaxing.  They always fall 
for it, and torture their gearboxes into the distance in a desperate effort to 
"win".
