Guys,

Having recently just brought my 996 turbo, I was planning to get it Rolling Roaded to check all was well. I've previously used a company in Cheltenham called PowerStation I gave them a ring. They sugested a rolling road day one Saturday late May or early June. We would need 10-30 cars and it would be priced at £25 per car. The normal cost would be £40! They have a top of the range SUN 4x4 Rolling road and the guys really know their stuff.

Any of you guys up for it? As we'd all be done on the same road on the same day conditions should be perfect to give some true comparisions between cars? Plus we'd all get to meet-up for a natter'n'stuff. If we get enough interest I'll book a day.

Steve, 996TT

Cheltenham is quite a way away.

A better (more central) venue for many people might be G-Force in Aylesbury, who are Porsche experts and have an 1800bhp rolling road.......

I'll give them a ring, I'm just putting the idea out there at the moment. Just to see what the response is like...

I tried to organise this last year at GF. For a couple of reasons I didn't follow through with the idea.

Would be happy to attend an organised day at GF, though.

G-Force seems the most popular choice. I'll ring them tomorrow and see if they can accommodate us. I'll then post all the details on how to get there etc. I'm not even going to ask what dates people can or can't do as I'll get as many answers as people. Still I'll try and be sensible in terms of a major sporting event or LeMans for example. From the look of their website it's gonna be more expensive though.

WATCH THIS SPACE []...

Cheers, Steve, 996TT

Right guys,

G-Force would be able to host the event on Saturday 15th May starting at 09:00. They require a minimum of 12 cars with a maximum of 24. So it's first come first served. The Price will be £50 per car but this would drop to £40 if we get more than 20 cars. This includes a pre-run level check including oil, tyres and water (if required).

E-mail me your details including -:

Your name,
Pistonheads ID,
Car type,
Colour,
Year,
Registration,
Contact number (optional),

and I'll add you to the list. My e-mail for this event is RR@planetEarp.net

Cheers, Steve

P.S. Or, Let me know if you'd rather save the £25 and drive to Cheltenham.
