I've told the bloke around 6 people , but there is space for more, if we can get 10 cars it will be £25 each

Mark don't think there is problem with height

Won't make this one. No point with an M40 auto anyway, apart from giving everyone a laugh.

Hope all goes well Rob, doubt you'll see Bassboy, he's still as redfaced as his car after last time.

It's only 2 wheel dyno, plus they say they only do rear wheel drive, if that's true then I'm out :( Will have to ring them to confirm.

Capable of running 1,000hp through the rear wheels...

That's just the capability isn't it? Doesn't say it won't do front wheel. Won't make any odds to the rollers which end you put on surely...
