No, sir! Those are the original headlights of an 11 year-old car with 24,000 medium speed km (15k miles) on it .

I did clean the car up for the expo. But I wasn't even planning to go in the rally. Ben, Tim (remotely) & Will badgered me into it. Peer pressure.

The results are up on the website - Welcome To The Official Green Grand Prix Web Site

They only list the winning cars for each category though, I was hoping for a full list of all the entries.
