Hi lads.

Just to let you know i'm organising a little rolling road day for Fords at Circuit motors, Castle Combe on Saturday April 6th.

It'll be £30 per car on the day, including printout.

It started as a get together for RS2000 16v's, but I have 3 focus RS's a Fiesta and even some old school turning up.
The more the merrier, hopefully be a nice meet in the south west to start the show season.

Please PM me or reply on here and I'll add you to my list.

Cheers

Rob2k

15 cars attending at the moment.

Nice one Rob good venue too, is its for 2wds or 4wds or both

Rob2k

Sorry mate, yeah, should have added that they can do both mate.

Actually, all the cars are 2wd at the moment.

cossiedad

I can confirm I will be there with my saph Rob. Someone has to fly the Cosworth flag! lol

Rob2k

Good news mate.
Got to be quite a rare thing for Cosworths to be in the minority!

cossiedad

Quite a rare thing for cossies to be running at all! lol

I will more than likely be there!! Don't put my name on the list or anything as I can't guarantee due to family commitments. Will try and get there though

Rob2k

No problem mate, got quite a few maybe's.
I'll start contacting people next month to get the list updated.

If my old girl is running by then I'd gladly come along

I might pop along for a nosey

RichieST

i know of a couple more who might be up for this will let you know.

Rob2k

It'd be great to see you all there lads, they'll be about 30 cars if everyone I have on my list turns up!

Might even have to park a few at the circuit down the road, I believe there's not that much room outside the actual garage.

On the plus side, i'm going to see if I can get a photographer to take a few snaps on the day. Should be good if we get the numbers and weather!

Rob2k

Ok, going to close applications for the RR.
Mainly because parking is tight and we'll be running out of room fast!

As it was originally an RS2000 16v thing, i'd like to give them priority on the rollers.

RichieST, MAD Ade & Cossie891, you're more than welcome to turn up as it looks a good little Ford gathering.
There will be plenty of cars there, but I'd just like to say there's a possibility of not getting 'roller time'.

Please don't let this put you off, I just don't want anybody being too disappointed.

RichieST

iTrader: (2)

no problem i will probably turn up and if there's space or someone pulls out I'll run it!

Joe91

ill come along to this for a nosey.

Joe

Rob2k

Brilliant, that's the idea lads.

nbs

Is this open to anyone just to come along ?

Rob2k

Yes mate.
It was organised as an RS2000 16v day out, but everyone is welcome.

I've just said that we'll get the RS2k's out of the way first, then the rollers will be open to everyone.

nbs

Cheers mate. Will try and come along as Combe is not far from me

Rob2k

Ideal mate.

Pray for good weather everyone!

roy1989

Sounds pretty good, do you know what rollers they are using? Got some contact details? might be a good venue for an RR day later down the line

Rob2k

Hi mate, sorry just seen this.

The bloke I've been dealing with does a lot with Mk1 Focus RS and has this website...

The garage is in Upper Castle Combe, Chippenham, Wiltshire. SN14 7HB
Phone: 01249 782596 Ask for Paul.

I believe they are Dyno Dynamics Rollers, for 2 & 4wd.

I might try and get down there and if theres space i would'nt mind going on for a giggle

Rob2k

You're more than welcome mate.
I'd like to see as many as possible get a turn on the rollers.

Mark_

See you there Rob,

Rob2k

Getting close now!
Quick update.

I've spoken to Paul at Circuit motors today and unfortunately have to confirm due to a technical fault, he cannot run 4x4 vehicles on his rollers.

I think there was only 2 4x4's on my list, but I'm sorry if there was anyone else planning to turn up if the weather was good.

You're all still more than welcome to come along and laugh at my car blowing up tho!

Rob2k

Just under 2 weeks to this.
Hopefully things will warm up and the rain will hold off.

It'd be nice to get a good turn out to start the season.

STeve

have a good one Rob

Rob2k

It's this Saturday people!

Weather looks like it'll be alright.
No excuses for not giving you're newly taxed car a burn up, or even just turn up for a natter!

Postcode is SN14 7HB.
Cheers, Rob.

Rob2k

Ideal mate.

Bloody snowing here today.

P4ULT

cossiedad

Snowy weather is ideal for my intake temps!

My problem would be getting there without rear ending a bush on those roads! lol

wonder whos winning best power then cossiedad

P4ULT

Any ideas on finish time?

cossiedad

There are 3 rwd cars to run and 2 escort rs 2000's so prob mid afternoon finish I would think. So far the highest I'm aware of is 424bhp mk 2 Focus RS. But they are giving out the graphs at the end so there may be a surprise.
