Just got back from AET, our kid had his car on the dyno. Have to say I was completely blown away by the quality of the equipment and general facilities, and the warm welcome and down to earth attitude of the staff. I have visited places in the past where both the equipment and service has left a lot to be desired but AET's wonderfully down to earth nature and state of art equipment has left me thoroughly impressed. It says something when an outfit like RCM uses your dyno facility because it's so good Thanks for letting me have a nosey and all the best for the future.

Turned up first in line and no locking wheel nut adaptor. Had to go home and remove with a socket and hammer, quite easy really, at least I won't have to worry about them anymore
Got back and returned 250 at wheels so well happy
Great to meet Andy and Ellie and all the rest of the guys there.
Its a super set up and well worth the visit
Thanks for coffe and sandwich to Ellie and all who made us welcome

The welcome, facilities and down to earth nature of Andy & Ellie at AET comes as no surprise...

Brilliant day, its the first time I've been to AET and had a proper laugh as you only can with the WYIOC
Thanks to Andy for peppering me and Scott with tyres as he did donuts in the mentalist kart! I'll get the small vid of it up soon.

Well heres our pics ........
Little Kaine with his light sabre next to bannys car (superb result by the way!)
Mick turned up with his new toy
Andy setting Ians car up -
Usual WYIOC support out it style, thanks alot guys and girls! -
Stringos number 4 -
Poor Kaine couldnt see over the wheel
Heres a better one, and must say all the kids were superbly behaved
Now for the toy, we are so glad we were encouraged to fire her up coz Andy had forgotten how good it felt driving it
Andy always gets the easy bits, just sit and steer!
Now for Johns car who did well in the results -
Scott and sarahs (I wont embarrass you with putting up the pic of you scoffing a chocolate Hobnob sarah - are you listening Debbie? )
I think scott and sarah must clean their car daily - havent seen it mucky yet!!
And last but not least Stu's pride and joy -
Im sorry if ive missed anybodys - and was great to see the missus Al
Just before i go heres just one more pic of Andy from last night - He was just a tad sloshed, in fact i think i was holding him up on this one!!
We didnt get in till 3 this morning so we are suffering!!
Thanks alot again to everybody who came and supported us, we had a great day and it was nice to meet some new faces too
