@ Oil...... I thought though if we got there early enough we could play murder in the dark?

Yeah ok, top 5 and before or after Damo, I think that'll be fairest for you two



Still need more people interested because it is still at the standard daily rate...... Another 15 people needed.



Thanks Jimbo

Powers is owned by one person, he also runs the company & works in the workshop fulltime, he employed me to try & generate some buisness across the board, the Ford scene was one area he wanted to concentrate on. Its never been the case that Powers are not interested in Fords or mainley deal with Jap cars because 'thats where the money is'
look at the amount of development that has gone into the Power Engineering focus in the last few years, we have also recently finished a Focus ST170 turbo, theres not a lot of them about!!!

I think the problem is Jap owners don't mind spending the money, Ford owners are tight

But that isn't for this thread

'nail on head'

although early impreza's are low value now & a lot of folk are not spending on them!!

anyway, back to topic.........


40 cars for a rolling road day is possible, it makes quite a long day, but also makes for more interesting results
as they say, the more the merrier

Have Powers really said that they can run 45 cars in a day??

I know what a struggle it was when we used to do 30 and the one occassion that we got to 35, well, that was TOUGH!!

Good luck all the same.

I don't reckon we will come though as we wouldn't want to steal your Sunshine, Sunshine.

Guzzler - I thought Rob took over half of PE from Dave with Richard owning the other half?

I'll be gutted if Rob has gone as he always got the bacon sarnies in when Merv or Steve didnt!....but that was some time ago!
