    weighing your Renaults

    At work i have a set of wireless Intercomp scales.(corner weights)

    I'm thinking of bringing them to Santa Pod for this day.

    For a small charge i can weigh your car with and with out driver.

    Your front and rear weight percentage too.

    Is this something people would be interested in?

    Probly for his time to set them up and use of the scale which i guess will need to be checked and calibrated after a number of cars have sat on them.. have you seen the price of such gear...

    Seems like a good idea, shame we couldnt do a side by side test against pods scrutineering scales...

    Thats how i weighed my colt. I was on warning light so without me (fat driver) and without any fuel my colt weighed 1120 kilos.

    Thats a lot for an little car. Its got a really strong chasis and the back seats weigh a ton (well a lot)

    Without the rear seats in a standard colt czt runs a 14.2 1/4 mile.
