OCUK Rolling Road Day 11 @ Eurospec (Guildford) - Sat 19th March 2011

[Frozennova]

Good day and great to meet some forum face.

No idea on the rollers but the stock cars that I saw run made stock power or there abouts.

Good meet, really enjoyed it. Was great to chat and meet some new faces, and there were some awesome cars. Gibbo: Thanks for the passenger ride in the Evo, felt brutally quick from nothing right up to the top of the revs, and felt amazingly planted and composed. Awesome car

Oh, and my welds held up ok

Caterham, Westy and DC2 owners...I decided I couldn't be bothered with getting rides so I did not meet you guys, sorry.

Good day, fantastic weather for it!

Many thanks to Neil for the passenger ride. That Lotus is mental!

I said earlier in the thread that I'd have a chat with them about their cars and grab a passenger ride. In the end I didn't have any and didn't speak to them, so just being polite.

ah ok, it read as though you only wanted to meet them for a go in their cars

did joshy run his car?

 

[Joshy]

did joshy run his car?

No. I was an EPIC failure

Sorry guys.

On the plus side I found my exhaust leaks (All 9 of them :-\)

Fantastic meet guys, had a great day, and I'm happy with 226bhp

Thanks again to Kosta for organising it, and for the passenger ride in your Scooby, which is just absolutely mental fast. I wasn't expecting it, at all

And thanks to Princey for the ride in the Monaro, fantastic noise and so much grunt And thanks to Vigoro, Westy and DRZ for letting me benchmark your MX5s


Joshy, what happened? :/

Great turnout.

Really good day, great to meet everyone again. Some fantastic cars there as always.

Lowlights were the weird guy on the gate and the mate of a mates friends best mates dogs hairdressers mate's running cars and taking ages on the rollers meaning people were still running at 4pm

I think next time we really should limit power runs to OcUKer's only - one of the extra cars took almost an hour of dyno time in the prime morning slot

Good to meet everyone today.

Didn't realise how loud my car was that explains my crap hearing.

Hope the people who did get passenger rides enjoyed them and if anyone didn't get the chance I apologise you should have come and asked .

Thanks to Scooby for organising it

Absolutely - thanks to Scooby for organising the best turnout ever. Kudos

Wow really?!

 

[Howard]

Yep, I didn't get home long ago

 

[PeterNem]

Photos downloading now.

Good to chat to those of you who I chatted to!

Edit: to those whose cars I took pics of, let me know if you want me to blank out the reg plates before I post....

If you wouldn't mind... at least until I get the private plate back on

 

[Howard]

I'll sort out my pics and make a thread a bit later, I'm absolutely knackered!

 

[alexisonfire]

Great day and turnout, nice to meet some people too! Chuffed with my result aswell, was expecting a lot less

And of course many thanks to kosta for arranging it

 

[Joshy]

Joshy, what happened? :/

Exhaust seemed to take a turn for the worse during the week, only managed to get it on a ramp last night (we've just moved sites, everything is a bit mental) and had a proper look - Put quite simply it was ****** (a bunch of welds have rusted through). My quick patch repair last night was no good so I had to spend today doing it 'properly' (I.E gum it up with 2 tubs of exhaust paste :-\) .

If anybody wants to question my alibi I've still got the dried on exhaust paste on my finger nails to prove it .

Sorry guys. I honestly wanted to be there .
