Default kent Rolling Road Day

I have arranged to use the new Dastek 4x4 Rolling Road in Canterbury on Saturday 1st December for power runs, any make of car is welcome even BMWs .

We need 5 cars for the cost to be £30 CASH each, you will get a printout of AFR, Boost etc and the graph will be laminated.

http://www.rapidchariots.co.uk/

The normal cost is £40+vat = £47, so £30 is a good saving.

Directions

http://www.rapidchariots.co.uk/location.htm

You need to Turn Off the A28 into the Entrance of the Wyevale Garden Centre, then immediately turn Right and follow the road to the end (about 300yds) the Rolling Road is the last Unit on the left.

Please add names to the list

2, mechanic28
3, Sideways Sierra
4, Jim Galbally
5, bennyst
6, PaulS2
7, mark_24v_wiring
8, DanRSturbo

It would get through the main door John, but not sure about getting on the rollers now as he has just made it into a enclosed cell.
