I'm hoping to possibly come up to this (all the way from Cornwall) to view a car!
Be good to meet a few people and chat about 5's
(I'll be the one in the corner without a Renault lol)

All that way? Can't you just ask a member to pop round lol.. We don't want anyone in the corner just make your self known bud..
Ha, yeah I'll try and have a chat with a few peeps. Be good to see a nice collection of 5's.
I don't mind travelling to check a car out if it sounds right. Nice to have a chat with owner and check it over myself.
The car I'm talking about belongs to Nick Wyse. After pairing a wanted as on the rtoc Facebook page he commented and said he might sell it but wants to do a couple of jobs and go to the r/r day. That's fine with me as again I don't mind waiting it its the right car.
Incidentally if anyone does know a bit more about his J plate Raider then I'd love to know. He seems to have described it pretty honestly and judging by the pics I've found online it seems ok.
Anyway sorry, back on topic....
Hopefully see you there!!
My engines in and now I'm battling with a few electrical gremlins, I'm still hoping to get it finished in time. If it comes down to the wire can I just head along on the day and pay for a run then? If not I might just head over anyway to meet a few fellow rtoc'ers
of course you can aiden will be good if you can make it
not long to go now guys, are we all ready or have you still got a few bits to get finished?
should be a good day hopefully get a few more to run on the day as well
little heads up, we have had 3 and possibly be 4 people pull out of running on the day, so its looking as if this day might not be able go ahead unless we can find another 4 definate runners.
im going give it the rest of this week see what comes up and if no takers will have to cancel the event and let noble know asap. Obviously any deposits paid will be refunded via paypal.
alright everyone im doing all i can to get this day on, we could do with a couple more running on the day so any of you that are 50/50 on what your thinking of doing could you please let me know asap if you can run the car.
At the moment the rubber duck (Yellow 5) is a runner and I will be attending. I have got the time off work from my second job too
hi aiden will you be running the car, would be great if you can as iv just had another guy drop out who had paid deposit
i have just emailed noble to ask if they would still be ok with holding the day even if we only get 6-8 runners
Yeah I'll be running. Won't be expecting a massive power output as its pretty standard and only pushing 8psi boost atm but I've never been on a rolling road or to an RTOC event so should be fun. Are you going to be needing a deposit from me?
no need for deposit mate as they have already been paid, so just a case of turning up and paying on the day
hopefully you will enjoy the day the dyno days have been a great success in the past
just had this reply back from noble so were all good
Hi Andy
Thanks for the heads up, We can run 1 car or we can we run as many as you like , As long as we have a reasonably secure idea of numbers before the day .
The cost of the runs varies with the number of people.
1 car is £45.00 inc vat
Up,to 10 cars is £40.00 inc vat each
11 to 14 cars is £35.00 inc vat each
15 cars and over is £30.00 inc vat each
If you can keep me up to date i can organise our work load accordingly.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards Mike
is anyone else interested in running there car at this event?
