I've been saving fivers. Got 25 of them to bring along, so we shouldn't have a problem this year. smile
That's allot of Maccy Dees you have saved change from! eek
Yeah, that's from the start of the month, and I've had to cut down at each sitting, so that I get a fiver in my change from a twenty. wink

Okay, you win.

I was at Bruntingthorpe, in my diesel Alfa, having a noise test, and the tester said "Can you take it up to 5000 revs please" so I told him that it red-lines at 4500. After dialing in about 3500 revs, the tester came to the side of the car and said "Sorry, I can't get a reading, as the TVR (which was on tickover) next to you is louder."


Just leaving. See you all soon. smile

just letting myself wake up, planning on leaving Swindon around 12, can save you the indignation of turning up in a oil burning beemer if you want a lift down.

Sorry I didn't stick around, I have too much stuff to do at home what with moving soon.

My car was down approx 10% power wise at the wheels compared to when it went on the rollers after being mapped(540RWP vs 620RWP). It's not running 100% right either as I get a fair amount of burnt oil out of the exhaust on the overrun which the catch can should have sorted but hasn't. So until this is sorted I can't say for sure if I have a problem or not. Also won't have helped that I drove straight in and pretty much was put on the rollers so the car would have been warm if not hot.

Bottom line, I'm happy, the car is still quick enough for the road and is a hoot to drive which is all that matters.

I hope the rest of you have good runs...! thumbup

I doubt I'll even be in the top 3 with only 540RWHP but hey there's always next year laugh

Emma, when we went up to the VX museum day a few months ago, Jez and I had said that your car was chucking out oil when you blasted passed us and then backed off the throttle. assume it must have got worse. hope you get it sorted
