Default Possible ESC Group buy of Millers oils

I was speaking to Dal @ ABW today, and he's now got an account with Millers oils, and have managed to persuade him to consider doing a group buy on oil.

Millers do a range of high quality engine and gearbox oils, along with Octane boost.

I've used Millers TRX rally grade gear oil in my old Scooby and really is good stuff, the gearbox used to grind in 5th occassionally and sometime would jump out of gear, but since putting the TRX in, I never had a problem since, and will be using it again in the new Scooby.

The Milles Octane boost, IMO isnt bad, not as strong as Silkolene Proboost but it's a lot cheaper, but you can see the difference from using normal 99RON and 99RON with Octane boost by a flamer

If there is interest in the Millers products, I'll post up more info about it
