Default Good Rolling Road in Surrey

Unsurprisingly called Surrey Rolling Road ! www.surreyrollingroad.co.uk

Took the 7 up there today with 2 others to do some comparisons with various exhausts. Charlie (the guy who runs the place) was very patient as we changed exhausts and generally messed around!

It's in the old Qinetiq grounds at Longcross, they do a bit of filming there too and various other testing, so an interesting location!!

Had expected this to be and "anyone know a. . ." thread.

I'd heard good things about these guys and would have recommended them to you

No, not ever. I've given up telling myself "just this one more thing and it's done"

I had my first rolling road session the same day, apart from not getting in until 4am on a school night, very interesting and good fun.

Glowing manifold

I remember going on an "Evo" meet years back with Charlie before he even knew what a rolling road was - ask him what happened to his first M3.............

Hehe, I'll be sure to ask next time I see him !

G - very cool pic, when we changed our exhausts they were so hot the guy with "heat-proof gloves" had to keep dropping them - his gloves were smokin! No cool glowing though!

Ther is no such thing as "one more thing and it'll be right" I've finally learnt to accept! It's cost a fortune and we haven't even raced yet this year.

I think our firstr race is the same w/e as yours?
