OCUK Rolling Road Day 9 - Its booked!

I missed your post mate, sorry, I'll add you in a sec. Seeing as I missed your post and am feeling nice, where would you like to run, near the begining, middle or end?* :)


*It makes no difference to Andy when he's running the cars.
 
I'm tempted to help bulk up the numbers (I was initially on the runners list but pulled out :p) ....but!

My front wheels are in desperate need of balancing, I've not had them done as I've got two alloys in refurbishment at the moment with new tyres waiting to go on. So thought I'd save the pennys and balance the new refurbs and whack them on, Didn't Phates car have to come off the rollers last year after it tried to escape due to inbalance? :o

No that's due to the wishbone being bent.

How far are you coming? I thought it was a fair way, I'd get them balanced anyway mate. :)

90 Miles, I've got Peugeot Cyclone alloys.. Centerless alloys to be correct, which means 99% of the garages round here can't balance them off the car :(
 
If you're really desperate I might stick the Volvo on for a laugh, see how much power it's lost due to 18 years of abuse and poor maintenance

I'd rather not though, you might get antifreeze on your rollers.
 
Well if everyone that has confirmed turns up, and Moeks says where he wants to run, and I chuck Daryyn on then we've got 18 which is about spot on really, as people start to get bored around 16-18 cars. Especially if it's wet, but no harm in putting more cars on...apart from Andy gets to the pub late. :p
 
I'll go somewhere in the early-middle. Something like 7-8 I think. I don't want the engine to cool down too much before it gets bounced of the limiter :)

That's what I was thinking, can always go for a quick warmup lap round the estate or something prior to your run though

Ok, we have 17, if someone wants to run on the day then give me a shout, but I only really want to add a max of three more on, if some don't turn up though then I may be able to squeeze more in. :)

guys i'm really sorry - it looks like i'm going to have to pull out all together :( probably having to take my cat in for an op :( :( Hate to do this too you, sorry!
 
Rob, why not have Darryn before the mystery runners? ;)

In case anyone is wondering about the runs being recorded, I'll be taking my video camera.
 
Ill be fetching my Camera for some meet and on Rollers photos... Hopefully several others folk will be doing the same as my photos tend to be a bit boring.
 
I'll be taking photos of the cars and the runs if I can. Would like a picture of my car on the rollers, whether it's me or someone else shooting :)
 
We usually have an 'official' camera person actually. And some hosting for the photos sorted, in such a way that they aren't removed after a month ...or 3 years :p

Drops outs are so uncool :(

I take it you're still running the 325i?

Well, Darryn normally sits in the corner taking pics. :p
 
I can't remember who does what usually tbh, I know Connanius organised most if not all of the others, certainly the ones I went to he did. Speaking of which, where is he this time?
 
paradigm said:
At the moment, I'll run what I turn up in. Not bringing the 325 if I can't get it running right.

That's fair enough, so long as I don't get more drop outs. :p

I think Conanius has a lot of things on these days, which is why for the last one he had to hand the organisation over to Jake, and then when everyone wanted this one he couldn't do it either.
