I can be there for around 3pm as I only work in Rainham but the thing is I have to drive up a crap muddy road to get to work and don't fancy taking the scoob up it, meaning I'd have to travel back to Southend to pick the scoob up than back to thurrock with you guys for around 5pm. I could always put my 90 bhp Pug 406 tdi on the rollers for a laugh. It might put some of you to shame.

As promised, we have finally set the date for the ESC rolling road day at Torque Devlopments.

http://www.tdi-plc.com/index.php?pge=C_news

We have booked on for the 19th march, the first run will start at approximately 9am. Each run will take approximately 40 minutes per car. For this to work we will need a minimum of 10 cars and a maximum of 12. This is due to the time needed to change the cars over.

Dyno cell http://www.tdi-plc.com/index.php?pge=C_gallery

As part of the run the car will be run in a purpose built dyno cell with two fully trained technicians. At the end you will recieve two print outs one showing your BHP/Torque at the wheels only. And one showing what your car was doing at set points throughout the rev range.

TDI have said they will provide tea/coffee and doughnuts on the day they also are not charging us for the day and all they ask is that each car make a £50 donation to the Great Ormond Street Hospital. This will be done via a just giving page (details to follow)

Now the boring bits : Myself and TDI will not take any responsibilty for your veichle, they can only say that your car will be in the best hands and whilst on the dyno is something dosen't seem right, they will end the run there and then.

You will need to fill in a disclaimer, on this form will also ask for existing modification and anything else you think they should know.

If there are any questions at all please contact myself or Jenkins (aka shaun at TDI) and we will try and answer any questions you might have.

Mike

Hopefully this Dyno Day will be a bit more successful than the last one on the Saturday just gone for another Jap based club.

They promised 14 cars for the dyno with another 5-6 in reserve and a whole bunch extra coming down purely to watch.

How many turned up? Less than half of that - 7 cars in total ran on the dyno and collectively they only raised £230.
A bit disappointing really considering the average total for these events is normally between £500 - £600.
Its worth noting that TDI make no money on these dyno days and even the staff are donating their time free of charge.
As a company, we donate a percentage of our quarterly profits to Great Ormond Street, as they managing director has close family ties with the hospital.
