So we have 5 confirmed, 6 others who said yes, 1 hoping to be there and 4 not coming out to play

A reminder of the price

1-5 cars will be £50 each
6-9 cars will be £40 each
10+ cars will be £35 each

So we need every one to show as we have a potential 12, which means it will be £35 each.

3 more drop outs will cost those of us going on the rollers an extra £5!

7 more drop outs will cost those of us going on the rollers an extra £15!

Reminder for tomorrow morning folks and that we are starting at 9:00am.

There is still space if anyone else wants to have a go

Right guys, im going to follow Hugo up from Ards so I will see you all there.

I also have a very random story to tell you and also annoying.
A little taster:

I got questionned by the police as to why the back of my car was dirty!! YES DIRTY! Took my details and everything incase anything came up.

I didnt actually do anything wront by the way, not in the slightest and i almost laughed when they pulled up and started asking questions. You will all find out tomorrow!

Just proves the police have nothing better to do.

Anyway see you alll tomorrow.

called up after work but must have missed yous, couple of bmw's sittin just. Any figures yet?

[Hugo]

Ended up with only 6 cars on the rollers.

I'll wait for Andy to put up the results. Andys and mine were very close, might of been pushing out nearly the same power if both MINIs were running at the same temperature.

I was happy with getting over 200bhp with a smooth torque and horsepower curve. Robs was big surprise for being a stock 163bhp S.

There was a Ac schnitzer e36 M3 with a full carbon fibre bodykit, wings, bumpers and spoiler.



Thanks Andy for organising this

My Saturday started early with Edwina & I meeting my Brother David (DavidZ4) and heading up to Ai Autosport for 9am.

The chaps at Ai were waiting on us so we were straight onto the rollers.

I stuck mine on the rollers 1st and then David, while his was on Graham (Dubsterni) arrived.

While Graham's M3 was on Hugh (Hugo) arrived, then Tom (miniman92) and Rob (thatblokerob).

I would like to thank David, Graham, Hugh, Tom & Rob for taking part.

I would also like to thank the folks that arrived to spectate
