I shall pop up for a peek also

That spyder looks superb, rare and quick too a great package!

[edc]

Last call for any new runners, spectators or people who just want to lunch. I will finalise the list and running order this week and should email it out to everybody before the weekend.

[LaSource]

Hi, I might pop down if Charlie has a dyno slot available?

[edc]

PM me your name, email address and car reg and type and I will slot you in, assuming you don't have a turbo. Please also let me know if you want to join for lunch.

[edc]

I am going to close this for any new runners on the dyno. We now have 16 confirmed cars to run, 14 for lunch and a full schedule from 10 am to 13:45pm.

Of course, anyone can still pay as an individual to run their car at SRR but you won't necessarily benefit from the discounted price or be guaranteed to run concurrently to us.

If you want to spectate and just join in the banter or peruse the cars please drop me a PM with your contact details.

Final details and instructions to come via email.

[BIRMA]

I'll phone the pub and extend the numbers to 14 then.

Email sent to all those spectating and running who had PM'd me. If you haven't got it or are seeing this for the first time and want to come please PM me with your email address.

[edc]

Final running order and reminder email sent out to everyone listed to run or spectate - see you tomorrow morning.

[edc]

We've had a couple of late drop outs so there is room to place a couple more cars at the end around 13.15 and 13.30. If you would like to run please PM me.

Blimey, surely that must be a Varioram for the 993? If its standard, that's just about as rated when new. Rock on aircooled :-)

[BIRMA]

A good day thanks for organising Ed, the 981 Boxster's output was good and the pub didn't charge us for any additional phantom bottles of wine this time either.

[Black_mamba]

Rock on air cooled indeed...993 is boggo standard 1997 variorum car but well looked after...only dropped 2 bhp since birth, a bit like Gazzer still be able to turn out for England. The cabriolet is an '89 with a recent top end rebuild and Steve Wong chip recently fitted, at 222bhp that's only 9 horses lost....that's like Jimmy Greaves rocking up in a white shirt doing keepy uppies asking for a turn out for 60 mins. Very pleased indeed!

[MadMark981]

And another vote of thanks to Ed, Charlie and SRR.

Some really varied machinery and a nice bunch of blokes that enjoy talking cars and and stuff! Good choice of pub for lunch too, so would highly recommend one of these trips!

Of course I'm over the moon with my power / torque figures (335bhp & 275lb/ft torque) - amazing from a bog standard Boxster S with only 2,000 miles on it - but PDK and or 4WD obviously does not make a happy combo with a rolling road, so some others had issues!

I think there were a few pics / videos taken - so lets post them up to share?

I managed to get a pic of the line up before some cars left.

Thanks for organising another great day Ed. Could happily chat all day about cars and very impressed with the guys at SRR. Quite pleased I've gained 5BP since the last visit to SRR a few months back.
Look forward to the next one in the Spring.

Will have to see what I can do to coax a few more horses out my GT3.
