Hang on a minute! Why are we planning to hold this all the way down in Surrey? Could we look at a location more central so people from the North & South will have to travel the sameish distance?

Surrey suits me too! We can sort one out just for us local boys as it looks like there is a few of us.

Depends they use to redline my mini all the time but it's peak power was up there anyway. TO be fair the likely hood of a car blowing up on the rollers is pretty small. THe rolling road I use for the minis is run by a chap called stuart, he told me in all the years he's been rr ing cars (He does about 20 a week) he's only evber had 1 go pop and that was a high boost turbo'd mini.

None the less it's scary has hell hearing your car making that much noise and not moving while stoof outside it!
