Come on then, who else is a definite?

[vixpy1]

We have six in total...

So if anybody has any friends, another couple of cars would be great

Although i'd like to keep this a PH only thing, so please don't advertise of other forums.

Ta,

Charlie.

ps, any BBQ requests?

Um, can you BBQ Morrocan Chicken?

I tried it for the first time last month, utterly gorgeous.

Right as always some think comes up... The 300 had its MOT today and guess what its failed

I am hoping to have it all sorted this Saturday fingers crossed if I don't I will not run the car on the R/R.. I still turn up (I will pay for any BBQ food I eat) it be in a rusty MK1 MR2 and if you are down on numbers I mit just run that and see what a 154000 mile car puts out

Sorry for being a pain

We give bhp/torque at the wheels, flywheel, AFR, boost on turbocharged cars.

Been meaning to ask; AFR = Air/fuel ratio?

According to the last MOT mine is running very lean. I tried to adjust it, but did so using a friends' (Halfords) CO meter. Not the worlds' most accurate tool.

It actually warned us that there was a fatal concentration of poisonous gas on my drive. I felt fine, strangely enough...

Is it pay-on-the-day? I think I'll have a go just for a laugh if there are any spaces left on the day.

Don't book me in advance though - I'd rather watch real cars at play than collect a souvenier wooden spoon...

Rover quote mine at 130bhp, Carfolio say 120bhp, given that it's done over 100,000miles I'd guess it's even lower than that!

Less than 120bhp? Oh dear...

I would book in now but £40 is quite a lot to pay for public humiliation; especially when my computer has blown up, the council are demanding LOTS of money (following a tax blunder) and my TV license/elec bill is due very soon indeed.

There's also the small matter of the MRT to sort!

Yes, AFR is airfuel ratio, we have a wide band Lambda sensor and can graph it.

Its pay on the day.

Cheers,

Charlie.

Does this work like beer goggles? How much Fairy do I have to drink?

I ask for a friend...

[rsvmilly]

Is it 4 wheels only? I'd be quite interested to know what my bike kicks out.

BTW what time does it kick off?

Been wondering this myself!

[vixpy1]

Starts at 11.30am.

Map on the company website.

[rsvmilly]

I'm seriously considering coming along. Nice to meet a few PHers.

Unfortunately, I might be a bit messy from the night before - messy enough to preclude me from driving.

Have just tried it tonight, on the pipes that I can see and no luck I think I going to have to give up on this one.

See you all on Sunday at 11.30..
