Hello all.
I threw the idea of a South Wales rolling road day up here and it sounded like a few people would be interested in it so I figured it could do with a dedicated thread where we can get an idea of numbers and interest.
This would be a nice chance for the folks in Wales to have a chat and get to know each other a bit.
If we need some more numbers then I'm game for extending the invite to the 197.net folks as they always make good company! :smile:
Where?
The venue that's come recommended is Indigo-GT.
They're a couple of miles east of Merthyr Tydfil.
They've got an AWD dyno so we can bring along pretty much anything we like. I'm bringing my Civic so if you or your mate wants to bring his/her 500bhp Focus then crack on!

I've had a quick chat with them on the phone. They require a minimum of 10 cars and stop at about 25 and they normally carry out rolling road days on Saturdays.
There's also plenty of places around where we can get a bite to eat afterwards.
When?
The day I've stuck up was just an idea. It's no problem to change it!
June is completely booked up so it will need to be sometime in July or August. August 8th and 15th are also a no go but there's no rush!
I'm also conscious that there's another meet on July 11th which will smash into people's fun fund hence why this thread is here to get an idea when folks are free.
If we pushed the date further into August or the end of July then it gives people time to make any pending modifications to their car before they stick it on a dyno. :smile:
How much will this hurt the piggy bank?
I've pinched a few numbers from their site but I'm currently waiting on an email back from the helpful chap I spoke to on the phone to get a better idea of costs. Presumably they will require a deposit from us of some description and it will be on a per-car basis.
From their site:
Let me know what you all think. Could be a nice day out and a good change of pace. :smile:

I mentioned that we are Clio car club but all sorts will probably come along and the chap on the phone said that's standard these days.

Most of you have met me. Some of you even know where my front door is!
