Could be a problem, as he has a very powerful fan but its front floor level only. He did mention about some smaller portable fans, but might be worth calling him to confirm.

I'm going to bring something to try to deflect the air up into my rads, because it just blew straight underneath my dakar.

Floor level is good for me
The rad is 3.5 inces above the ground on the flat
Add an inch up on the rear for the rollers and I am on the floor!

Anyone know how wide his rollers are? I need 74 inches or there abouts

Looking good now isnt it??

I'm trying to make use of the last two days of my leave so I can fix my diff. But even if I cant I'll bring another MGB V8 to put on the rollers.

I'll mail Martin and let him know we now have 11 confirmed.

NO PROMISES, but I might be able to organise a small "volume / loyalty / V8 Forum" discount this way. But as I say, No promises.

Thanks
Perry

Does anyone know if the roadworks are all finished on the M! from M25 to Hemel area?

Last time I was on that section the roas surface was so rough it was like a ploughed field!

If the roadworks are still there I'll come cross country instead so as not to ground out the bottom of the car

Cheers
Ian

Ian,
The roadworks have moved south (the speed restriction has been moved from J10 as well) but they are now more towards the Hemel / M25 side. From what I remember the Hemel bit is now much better than it was!
