Me, GG, Alex, Duncs, Sundayjumper. Who did I miss? All welcome. Off to Costco after for pizza?

When’s everyone’s running time?

Can we have a list of:

1 Factory bhp
2 What are you expecting
3 As tested

:)

I haven't got round to booking myself in yet. What time are all your slots?

Yep 10.15am for me but I’ll hang about for a few hours afterwards.

1. 380
2. Runs like a pig when cold despite the work it’s had done recently (I think it needs coil packs) so I’d be happy with 350+
3. TBC

Managed to send them a message on FB but the only slot they had was 10.30am and I'm just not sure I'd get there in time. I'm still planning to come along though.

I'm booked in at 12:30, but I'm planning on popping down early to see GG's run. I need some stuff from Costo anyway so pizza lunch sounds good.

1 Factory bhp - 380bhp (and 302 lb/ft)
2 What are you expecting - it seems to run well enough but I suspect they used TVR's dyno to get to 380bhp. I'll be happy with 350-ish.
3 As tested - tbc...

Not sure what this Costco business is all about, but as long as they sell something other than pizza I'm sure I'll be fine.:)

*bump*

See you there about 10:45. If you're interested there's also a classic car show going on in Farnborough town centre. Will probably pop over after lunch, not least as my in-laws will be there with one of their Morris Minors.

Yep, looking forward to it ! Still planning on coming down in the Porsche for a look, then the Aston for a power run 8-)

Won't make it to the car show though, other stuff to do tomorrow :(

Yes - looking forward to it to. Forecast rain first thing tomorrow so hoping that changes. Likewise on the car show, unfortunately I need to be back by mid afternoon as probably won't get chance :(

Subject to traffic I reckon I'll get there by about 12. Although I've got to get three trains and negotiate the M25 so plenty of scope to go wrong! :)

Did you get a spot in the end Duncs or are you just coming along to say hi?

Nah, there was one spot left at 10.30 or something, but I couldn't get there in time for it so I'm just coming along to say hi really. I've never been to a rolling road before, and it's fully booked so I figured it would be interesting enough.

Ok good stuff - are you coming down in the 7? Bit nippy this morning if so!
