I can potentially do the 17th so stick me down. Just in a boring diesel BMW!

List updated, called them up and left a deposit so the date is locked down. Now I just need to get 10 cars signed up!

Struggling that day. What time? If I'm free it will be a last minute thing, and I'm only spectating anyway

I believe we need to be there for 09:00, I imagine it will take a few hours to get all the cars done so probably finished for 13:00?

Put me down - TVR 390SE

If they can do haldex equipped 4WD a pal of mine might want to bring his Audi down as well.
Added you to the list. Forgot to ask about haldex equipped cars. Will ring them tomorrow and update the thread.

Fair play. If you can confirm closer to the date then that would be great. Looking forward to seeing your Evo in the flesh.

Phil has a supercharged VXR8. I might be wrong, but I believe he also holds the torque record on the RS tuning rolling road too smile

Gave them a call earlier, they have run haldex equipped cars before without any issues smile

Sounds mental, looking forward to seeing the figures. At this rate mine will probably be the lowest on the day!

Nope, I may ask for a deposit of £15 per person closer to the date to confirm places. It was suggested by the folks at RS to stop people from pulling out but its fine for now smile

I think i'll have that dubious honour, TVR's claim of 275horsepower actually turned out to be blackpool Donkey power! I'll be pleased if i see 260bhp,I'm going for the loudest car award instead.

Have let my pal know haldex is fine, so hopefully will know if he's comin in the next few days.
My car started off with 280 BHP back in early 2000. It's completely standard so I'm guessing a few will have bolted over the years. I'm a contender for lowest at the wheel figures given the drivetrain losses from the 4WD system and the tiptronic gearbox.

Ah I'm keen... getting my carbs re-jetted at the end of April so should be making the best power since I've had the car!
