Yeah blue mudflaps, you wont regret joining BBSOOBYS, theyre a really friendly bunch and hold meets all through the year. Mainly Bristol (very near M4 junct) Bath, Chippenham etc....do it. Im off to Powerstation with them for a rolling road day this Saturday, which is only Tewkesbury.

Swindon meets were quite popular when Jacqui and I did them up to a few years ago.....used to have anywhere between 6 and up to 35 - 40 cars......Tried to resurrect last year however seems to be no interest in the area anymore........If anyone does organise one then let us know......if not BBS are a great crowd and well worth going to them.

Full range of power there from standard to 500+

Mine made 360 , bit low if I'm honest but everyone's seem to be a little bit lower than normal

Really good day out though as always , our mob is always a good laugh to be out with as there a good bunch of car nuts
