unfortunally it is only a two wheel drive rollers but has a nice set up and lots of parking with no restrictions of how late he can run etc if we get enough cars can do at £25 A RUN
tea and coffee will be supplied
anyone interested then will see if can make a date

Dates would be cool, its about 2 hours away for me but would be a good crack at £25. Probably get my mate in his 1600 focus too.
Not heard of anything closer to me.
Is it getting in any of the mags?

Is he busy?

Tough times to run that kind of business.

LPS died a slow expensive death so i hope he is not following their business model!

You have sort of Steve. Same rolling road, RR cell and all other kit.

LPS was the other company. They went bust and this guy bought all their gear from the recievers.

Hope he has changed the o2 sensor on the rr. In the three years it was at the other place i don't think it was ever changed and was donald ducked!
