Hi Chappies,
Charlie has kindly agred to extend his session on Wednesday 14th May for us local folk, and i thought we might follow that with a little bit of burger and drink

I am rather keen to see what figures the supercharged Chim now delivers, and there will be up to a maximum of 9 other slots for those of you who want to check the performance of your own chariot. We are being offered a special rate of £40 per car, so no need for any more willy measuring, get on that RR and see the real figures biggrin

http://www.surreyrollingroad.co.uk/ Good for 4WD too!

Sorry Phil, just arranged it with Charlie, who has a busy schedule. If we don't get the numbers, we can try for a different date.

Borrocks! RS6 is in for suspension and bits; so unlikely to be back by then - would love to know how it fairs at 5 yrs old!

Audi have lent me a brand new A4 TDious S-Line 'Special Edition' Avant for me to carefully run in for them over the next few days... hehe

As the Clio is off the road, would it be too much to run the van on the rollers rofl

What time is this starting/finishing? I'd like to come to spectate (see if Dave's duct tape holds upwink) but I'm on a course in York that day. Might be able to make it if I can get away early enough.

The planned start is 18:00, but if we don't get many takers, i'll see if i can arrange it for a better date for all.

Duck tape now gone John, i've drilled and screwed it!! (ooh err missus).

Just awaiting a new intercooler with the properly formed bead for the silicon hose joint.

Looks like there's going to be more watching than rolling! biggrin

I'll pop along too, but no point in running the car again, as it was done there a few months ago and nothing's changed since....
