Ive been thinking about organising a dyno day at TCS performance in Bishops Stortford, they use a 1200bhp 2wd Dyno Dynamics rolling road, been there many times before give a brilliant service always tea coffee and sometimes nibbles provided and always some tasty cars lying around in the workshop.

Run and owned by a chap called Tom Smith, very very knowledgable chap, has tuned many race cars and had a couple of Ex Formula 1 cars there as well, i managed to watch Aryton Senna's first f1 car being tested.

so who would be up for it add your names

dyno sessions will be about £30-£35 cant remember which off the top of head, im just getting an idea of numbers first and if there is enough interest i will arrange dates, but yes car types would be good.

Depending on date there may be a Saab 9-3 TTID wanting to come as well. In a cloud of black smoke.

hey guys dont worry i havent forgotten about you all, Ive been flat out busy for a while with my car and work, still havent had a chance to get dates yet, but will push on it as soon as i can.

if any of your friends are up for it dont forget to put them on the list, i did have a brief chat with Tom, and he said to do a dyno day he will need a small deposit say £10 each, hope thats not a problem.

I would also like to point out Tom is not interested about making customers happy with high dyno figures, he much prefers to be honest and open about what your car is doing, and will also try and suggest if required ways to make it perform better.

so far on the list ive got

(1) The Devil- Noble m12 GT0-3
(2) Sparky1983- Vauxhall Monaro (Holden CV8)
(3) Mintno1- BMW E36 M3 EVO
(4) Yesitsarover- MGZS
(5) Yesitsarover- Saab 9-3 TTID
(6) Zippee- TVR T350
(7) Chipsandcheese- Porsche Caymen S
(8) TallTom- Fiat Grand Punto Abarth
(9) Rmaurer- Mazda RX7
(10)JB- Skoda Fabia VRS
(11)JB- VW mk2 Golf 20VT
