Rolling roads are not really my thing, waste of time unless its for fault finding

A friend of mine in the tunning buisness had one and showed me how easy it is for the operator to fiddle the results

Had my old pug on the rollers twice in two days and had a 60bhp difference!

So basically they are bollox if you know what I mean

We should aim to be there for around 9:00, but I see no reason why it is a problem if you decide to come along a little later on, as we are never going to get this many cars through in the morning! lol.
Keep the names coming guys, looks like this could be quite large!

Nice one - I'll plan to get there around the 11am mark then (means I can get up at 8am and not even earlier to get there).

Put me down for 1 mate as well please - he's got a Focus RS (but I try not to hold it against him)

Cheers

You afraid I will put you to the sword Rich?
Sad to hear that mate, if you fancy coming along just for the day out, let me know and I will give you a lift up from the coldra no problems.

Just to add, a little bird has told me that this may end up as a feature in one of the bigger magazines, so come on, let's get as many people as we can to come along for this!!
I know there are more of you out there who are at least curious to find out what you are running.
Especially you Phil, or are you worried the sheer legacy grunt will destroy the rollers?
