hi all I'm planning another rolling road day at mtech in westbury in wiltshire prov for the 26th september here: www.mtechautomotive.co.uk/contact-us/cost will be 35 quid a go or 30 quid if we get more than 10 cars (which is almost certain) its a relaxed day with no real competition (appart from maybe me sleeper viva and craig but I'm feeling lucky this time  ;D) prize for the lowest power on the day.. dyno printout and airfuel readout and reccomendations if wanted. usually food served too..  I have posted this on a few forums so there should be a few interesting cars there. retro, custom, american, hotrod, etc .. good banter good laughs and a genrally light heated day out for all petrolheads.. can we start a list of attendees... 1. B8D viva estate derv. 2. who else... 3. and so on..... si |

I would definitely be tempted if I wasn't at a wedding that weekend. I've had my car on the rolling road at mtech before. Very friendly bunch there. Even provided a Bbq |

Hmm, wont be able to put the MX on the rollers now (as its sold ), but would be funny to see how much the power the 1.9 TDi beast is kicking out If you want I'll see if any of the local minis want to come and play |

Not 10000% certain yet, however if nothing changes drastically in the next day or two then count me in - would love to see how few torques the 2.5 CIH lump is putting out before the work starts (it only put out a paltry 140bhp from the factory! - which is appalling... quite likely to get owned by a derv diesel estate by the sound of it ) 1. B8D viva estate derv. 2. Austinpowers . Mitsubishi FTO. 3. Craig - Viva coupe 4. Sleeperviva - Viva TC(if its finished )[/quote] 5. Brat-Man - civic? 6. Craig1010cc - mini or mx5 7. Jason - mk1 cavalier 2.5L |

Si - I'll take a parking space but won't be threatening the rollers this time. Also, got your voicemail so we can have a chat about that too.
Tim - Might need to get fixed up for an MOT in the not too distant. Good to chat about that on Sunday?
