Default Gauging interest in Rolling Road Day

Hi all.

Been at the garage my brother works at today and there was a club rolling road day. Got me wondering if anyone here would be interested??

Obviosly I should be able to get us preferential rates but it would depend on numbers.

Let me know if interested.

Cheers.

Damn if I were closer I would be. I'd love to know what my TDI is actually putting out after all these years.

By the time you've driven over she'll be nicely warmed up lol. I was surprised the first time I did mine and it was nearly the same as it left the factory!

I'd be up for that; keep me posted!

Nice to know they can rate power up to 1,500bhp! I am sure some of our Volvo's will put that to the test

What's it all about? Is it just to see how many horses have galloped away over the years or is there more to it?
