Variety of cool stuff I came across at the GNRS

Made me laugh Really great look, I don't think I've seen a steering wheel like this before before the Garmin, early primitive man had a MAP! This mounted clip board seems to be function and utility for a rally great collection! The shifter know instead of the normal handle is a cool touch, the white walled red rims with beauty rings are damn good looking too
