Most unusual dashboard

Well going through YouTube with my feet up last night I found this wooden dash installation for the Caterham 160 , personally I'm not that keen on it, A nice carbon one maybe,... http://youtu.be/EHxtRGWCd44 The one item that it seems most people upgrade is changing the roll over bar for an FIA approved one which makes a lot of sense for extra security and safety and also the ability to do some events with the club which I would like to do. I only have the standard rollover bar at the moment so another order looks likely for the FIA one!
I have been out and about in the 160 mainly on the dryish days enjoying the car I do have the half hood on and with the heater on max! Although the wet weather does not put me off too much it's nice to keep it clean so the bucket and sponge comes out after every trip, Roll on spring time.
I'm just under the 3000 mile mark so a service is due soon which I think its just an oil and filter change and a general check over time to check the manual.
