I could be tempted to have a 100 shot of nitrous for a blast on the last power run (last being the operative word for the bottom end).
Could get close to 600 silly
If you feel comfortable doing it then that would be amazing...
Well not completely but it is a worn out temporary standard landrover bottom end and since its the end of the season anyway I can winch in back on the trailer then there are no excuses to get it home and swap it for something much more suitable for 2020.

Whats the parking situation like at the new SRR venue? Considering there will be 25 TVRs and others coming along.
I will be towing mine on the trailer so need room to manoeuvre and park the ML and trailer.

Not so good as the last venue as it is now in the middle of a trading state. I guess a lot of the units won’t be used on a Saturday and you can probably unload in the road adjacent.

Have TVRCC been informed, Sprint could send someone with a camera and a note pad.
Great publicity for the Mark with some of the best and known cars on show tearing it up. Not just garage queens and those that can’t make it get to enjoy what should be a memorable event.

Hopefully someone's got a video camera, YouTube for years to come,,, wink

Goodluck everyone, busy fine tuning I bet rofl

I'd love to able to come along to this but we're away unfortunately - it would have been great to meet some other Cerbera owners, especially as a newbie.

Enjoy all and look forward to seeing the results thumbup

I'll be there with camera, could bring the gopros but I'm not sure what footage would be good?
As for sprint, I could write the article but it probably wouldn't be seen there for 18 months biggrin

While I look forward to putting my Chim on a rolling road sometime I suspect this is more a day for those of you that have modified your cars and I’m also aware that there is a growing reserve list of cars that will be more of an interest

I’m therefore happy to take my predicted 250 bhp off the list and open it up to another...... I will continue to watch the thread with interest

That's unfortunate, we need to see unmodified cars as well as modified ones.. and there's no reserve list as yet (look above, the reserve list has no entries) , one less person on the list at this point does mean one less person on the rollers.

Keep me posted.....I’m still interested and offered only because they’re seemed to be a lot of interest fr9m those that had undertaken a lot of work under the bonnet.

Keep me on the list but if someone approaches you with something of particular interest then happy to take a back seat

I would be keen to come along and spectate if I’d be welcome - my cerb will be tucked up for winter in December, so I’ll just bring my daily along.
What time will the first slot be for?

I think it's more to see what the differences are, so standards should also be welcome. After all this all started from a discussion on prices of upgrades, what was cost effective, how much power was actually produced, so comparing modified to standards on the same rolling road would be very useful. It helps set a benchmark for those rollers on that day.

So I'd say not just for modified cars...

^^ yep the only thing I ask is that all cars are TVRs with original-ish design engines IE no LSs etc

Runs start at 8-45 people !! smile

Sorry Jay with the modified Tuscan has pulled out, someone rear ended his Tuscan yesterday, so it's off to Central next week and won't be back until new year

I will leave you on just in case it is ready, would be good to have the std 4 litre benchmark on the day too .. people always drop out of these things as the date approaches.
