Looking at a place in Hinckley, Leicestershire. 4WD rollers so no excuses from the syncro boys. Hoping to get something sorted early/mid December? Just need to gauge the interest first.

if the place you're thinking of in hinckley is wilcox race engines, i'd pop down there and meet him before booking.

he knows what he's doing, but is a bit of a know-all tw@t by all accounts.

i worked there a couple of years ago, didn't stay long  :tongue:

nope not wilcox mate, although I do know of them! I've tapped up our remap man mr. R-Tech to see if we can use his rollers.

I would be interested at some point, but I'm going to struggle before February for one reason or another. I also need to resolve a light not working issue on the Rallye and I'd need Joe to finish my bra (oo err missus) before I ventured down the M1 naked !

By the time it gets to the red line you'll need more petrol.
