I didn't think there was anything wrong/illegal about meeting & driving down with others, as long as they are all aware of where they are going & not just following each other ?

Though here are the likely suspects for email purposes:
Hobo - T350
Burriana - F348
Mod - 993 TT
Rods - 996 TT

Mark, I don't have your email address, let me know via my profile and I'll let you know the meeting place.

Not to worry then. My dad is a big-time car nut and would like to drag him along to an event to show him a "proper" car

Just sent an e-mail round. Is it best to wait for the full list to be posted, then sort out?

As Craig said, don't post anything on here regards the route!!

Yep.

Not really had chance to use it yet, although it is set up for the T350.

Assuming that you are asking because you want to nick it, then the answer is of course.

I think all you need to know is the weight of the car, and the rest is done automatically (you might also need drag co-eff).

Drag Co-efficient.

God know what it is though, to do with how well it cuts through air

A quick search states that 996 Turbo's is 0.31

If you look at this:

www.gtechpro.com/test.html

It basically shows you what it can do. Just use up and down to scroll through options, and then press 'ok' to see graph, etc.

Yeah, you just stick it to windscreen via the suction thingy, and then just get it level manually, so that g-forces are neutral when standing still.

The biggest downfall of it, is that it is not GPS linked, and therefore I have yet to see how accurate it is.

But like you say, for £150 I bought it for a bit of fun (and book says its accurate to within 1-2%).

If you want a really good system, I think RaceLogic do one (same as GuyR has got), but you're talking £500, plus you have bits & bobs all over the car, inside & out.
